    What do butterworms become?

    I saw some for sale at a local pets shop and was wondering if they become moths like waxworms or what? Also will they be able to pupate?

    I assume you refer to these?

    Apparently they turn into Chilean Moths.

    Butterworms at pet stores don't turn into anything. The are irradiated before export. It usually says so on the tub. They do stay alive a freaky long time in the refrigerator though.

    I heard the same about Waxworms, but that proved not true. I've raised hundreds of them to moths with a honey-wax diet.

    Have you bred the moths to get another generation of waxworms?
