Breeding Goliaths.. How long to hatch?

[spykerherps]

Anyone hear successful in breeding Goliath worms? I have got about 8 of them to pupate and was wondering how long until they hatch into moths. I don't believe they eat after they hatch just breed and lay eggs.

Hawkmoths not silk moths

Hornworms aka tobacco hornworms and tomato hornworms are sphingid not saturnid moths like silkworms. They actually need to feed as adults in order to live and breed. Due to their tongue structure, the thing that is coiled and acts as a straw, they need to hover in order to feed from flowers. Many people have found it more effective to buy eggs and hatch them if they needed them in bulk. If you need more information on egg/chow packages in bulk please let me know. When buying in bulk combos the price per unit is much less.
