Would you buy Hornworms?

[LokitheBeardedDragon]

My answer would be no, but only because there is like 10 or 12 places locally i can get them. By the time i pay shipping it's as cheap and more convenient for me to just get them locally.

Ditto ^ ... unless no shipping charges

Not bad prices. May get some. When is the Etsy site open?

I'm in NE Ohio, and shipping is super cheap, however, if you do a local pick-up I don't charge shipping

Shipping would be under $5 (it would be $5 for the 50 hornworms)

Unless you do local pick-up then I don't charge shipping

My Etsy shop is currently open, I haven't posted the hornworms yet because they haven't bred yet, but once they do, I will post them. I probably won't have eggs available for purchase this time, but next time I will for sure! I also won't have pupae available instantly because it will take about a week for them to pupate.

Ok! I think doing larvae would be hard, so will you be able to do full ones? (It's okay if you can't!)

What do you mean by full ones?

UPDATE: My first batch of hawk moths (adult hornworms) died before breeding. Going to try again and will provide you guys with updates on my next attempt. Suggestions and ideas are appreciated!

Grown up because I don't think I can do larve-
