Everything you need to rear Manduca sexta from egg to pupae, no host plant required.

Kit contents:

  • 250g DML-1 Artificial diet (ready to cook)
  • 5 petri dishes 90mm 
  • 5 mesh inserts for Petri dishes
  • Mesh support 18x75cm for conatiner

Who is it for?

Breeders who want to raise hornworms without relying on fresh tobacco or tomato. DML-1 is a balanced diet formulated for Sphingidae larvae accept it readily from L1 onward. One kit is sufficient to rear 20-30 larvae to full size.

The mesh inserts sit inside the Petri dishes as a raised platform for the diet, keeping larvae separated from frass and reducing contamination. The container mesh serves as a support platform for larvae in later instars, keeping them off the diet surface and maintaining cleaner rearing conditions through to pupation. Please make sure to have a suitable enclosure ready for when larvae reach L3/L4, as they will quickly outgrow the Petri dishes.
