Reptile & Amphibian Forums

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,

They eat nothing else other than the trevo bush. They both come from Africa. Your best bet is to keep them cool (in the fridge, to slow their metabolism), wich should keep em a week or two. Not keeping them in the fridge means starving them to death. Feed them quickly as they stay longer, they become smaller and smaller until they eventually die. I am not aware of breeding in captivity for the pet trade.
