Hey lele,
You mentioned a while ago that you were attempting to gorw some hornworms in large quantities. Any luck?

hmmm....no I didn't. I may have been responding to someone else? There was a recent hornworm thread http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1082202,1082202

I actually will not feed them (larvae or adult)to any animal b/c I have a what most folks see as wacky(!) - fondness for them. My first successful rearing attempt in 1998 got me interested in raising wild silk moths (luna, polyphemus, cecropia, etc.), which I have been doing since 1999. In fact, have a cage full of male luna moths waiting to be released tonight, a female mating and another laying eggs

However, I did write an article for chamnews on rearing them which you can read here:
