Ceanothus Silkmoth Resin Earrings -- Hyalophora euryalus (kasloensis)

The second largest silkmoth in the Pacific Northwest, we raise a large brood of these each season.  Cocoons also also typically available in winter for shipping inside Oregon.

Chonky, colorful caterpillars feed on a variety of different trees.  The dark brown rough silk cocoons overwinter. 

We bring females up the Umatilla RIver in spring for outbreeding.  They emit a pheremone to attract wild males, and early in the morning we collect the female and wild male.  That evening they separate and the female lays 200-300 eggs.  The process begins again.
