silkworm moths for ts

[Skul023]

hello i have been taking care of ts for 6 yrs now and my gramastola pulchra is at her full grown size, i used to have a bearded dragon who died last year at 14yrs....i had silk worms that turned to moths what i want to know is if i could feed a silkworm moth to my now adult morticia as a treat reason im asking is idk if a moth would be toxic to a tarantula ik some are to certain invertebrate species....so will it be a good treat?

I dont see why not...silk worms and moths are very nutritious. Ive feed hornworm moths to my Avics...they love catching them in mid flight.

No...its way too fast. You would have to set up a camera then slow it down. Ive wanted to try to capture it. I just might have to raise up some hornworms.

My LPS sells hornworms, they are expensive lol

If I had constant access to mulberry leaves I'd order silkworms. I used to feed them to my chameleons back in the day. Great feeder but you need mulberry leaves to keep the worms going.
