We are excited to be able to offer a small number of educational live Emperor Gum Moth Lifecycle kits.

(At the moment these are only available for delivery in the south east suburbs of Melbourne)

These kits come with caterpillars that are already in their final growth stage (last instar), meaning children will be able to witness some of the MOST fascinating parts of the lifecycle, and the transformation into one of Australia’s largest and beautiful native moths,up close, including:

• colour changes before pupation

• the wandering stage

• cocoon spinning

• moth emergence

  Each $55 kit includes:

• 3 caterpillars

• Pop-up mesh enclosure

• Jar with cover

• Starter feed eucalyptus leaf

• Digital care guide

• QR-linked lifecycle videos

**Worksheets available for homeschoolers and primary schools at no extra cost

You will only need to provide the water and some sticks/twigs!

All moths and caterpillars are captive born and raised, and are not collected from the wild.

These kits and resources have been developed through captive rearing experience by a wildlife educator and wildlife carer.

This is the very first small release while we continue building additional videos and classroom resources, so numbers are limited

A wonderful opportunity for children to observe and appreciate the incredible lifecycle of one of Australia’s largest and most beautiful native moths in person, while learning about native wildlife and the important role insects play in our ecosystems.

“If children grow up not knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it. And if they don't understand it, they won't protect it. And if they don't protect it, who will?”

— David Attenborough
