Rearing the Eyed Hawk Moth (Smerinthus ocellata)

Added 26/07/2012 to General News

As a child I was always amazed at the array of both butterfly and moth species found in the UK.

I reared Garden Tiger moths (commonly known as Woolly bears) caterpillars in jam jars and fed them copious amounts of dandelion leaves. Then watched in awe their journey and transition from larvae to adult moth.

During the last few years and especially after the birth of my daughter Emily and son Harry, it has made me revisit those early years and I’m again rearing these magnificent species.
