10 most asked questions answered! {Deaths Head Hawk Moth}

I am always asked the same questions daily and these are the ones people ask me the most!
how long do moths live? do they bite? do they eat?
I have answered the questions by using my personal experience in raising these moths, I have raised them for a few years now and I learn something new each time
To watch us raise these moths check out my other videos, I have also raised many other moths such as the attacks atlas moth!
I have many cocoons and pupa waiting to hatch too #moths #hawkmoth #deathsheadmoth #youtubegrowth #silkmoth

I love how the moth pees all over the towel when it hatches from the pupa, as if it had been retaining that pee for too long. Must be such a relief!

moths are prettyy harmless but i have been "punched" by them before flying directly into my face lol

I love Death Head Moths, I came across the species through a video saying "Your Month, Your Moth." and my month (August) had the Death Head Moth! I find these moths so pretty and amazing just as any other moth. I also find it adorable that they can squeak!! :3

[OmgMcGamez]

My theorum as to why they don't eat in captivity is may be due to the absence of bee pheromones. They may be drawn to nests by bee pheromones, which may trigger their feeding response. No bees, no self feeding. Putting honey on their tongue would trigger the eating response outright.

I just realized the colouring on the back of their heads make it look like they have Skull Tattoos 💀

Its funny how 1 year ago i had a phobia of insects, and now i have a deeply soft spot for them

[FutureAIDev]

It's interesting how they appear to exhibit a behavior similar to trust

[TOPTURO]

Damn! I didn't knew i can keep them as pet one just came to my balcony sitted on my plants
for an hour or so
And i just flew him away
It was the exact same colour and squeaky 😢

I made a D&D character who is a death head moth and because I found out that apparently they can secrete some sort of acid. He poisons people. His name is Vel

[AlexFarella]

Thank u! This helped me allot! Maybe some day I could find a death moth myself and get it! It's my dream to have one :)

[mark]

their proboscis is gigantic!

lol it pooped when it came out of the pupa

[Beepers]

I’ve been thinking of raising bees, but also keeping these little fellas too, I just can’t be mad at them

Also about the moths not biting part, there’s really only one kind of moth that can technically bite, those being vampire moths

[braxtonb]

The yellow and black ones look like butter fly bees

[kahfre]

Where did you get them? And can you get them to raise in USA? I'm already raising cecropia, polyphemus, and white lined Sphinx Hummingbird moths at the moment.

[dallasy]

Thank you! I loved this! Do you know where I can find death head moths?

[wolfbanesons]

is it safe for them to pupate out of the dirt? his chamber broke and he ended up going up but didnt make another, hes already pupating.
