I was looking at different types of insects to feed some of my lizards and came across the Butterworm. I would like to try to breed them in captivity and didn't find a lot on there care. I was wondering if anyone here has successfully bred them and was wondering if anyone here knows what they eat in captivity, besides leaves from a Trevo bush, or does anyone know where you can get a trevo bush? I've never seen one at my local HomeDepot/Lowes. Maybe there's a special plant shop or something somewhere? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks,
Nathan

butterworms are exclusively imported from Chile. Not sure why this is so other than the fact the trevo plant grows only in Chile. Not sure if you can get it in North America or not. I don't know of anybody who breeds them outside of Chile, so can't help on their life cycle.

I buy my butterworms from reptiledepot. Maybe they have some care sheets on them.
