Papilio cresphontes

Please order twice the number of eggs than you need larvae. Remember to give fresh food daily even before they hatch. Please have your insecticide free host plants before you receive your order. If you can not secure these plants we offer them for sale on or web site. If these babies are not carefully watched as they hatch, they may eat unhatched eggs.
