I went down to my local sweet shop and got a couple of sweet tubs and i'm gonna start a sort of rota so i don't run out...
Do you realy get like 400 - 600?
So when you see babys do you move them or something?

it all depends on the size of the container and the amount of moths/worms you put in first of all, this method you get lots.

the babies are very hard to see, i was about to throw my 1st mixture away when i started breaking up the bits in the bottem of the jar there were tiny waxworms almost as thin as a hair, hundreds of them.

each moth can lay 20 eggs per day i think and they live for roughly 10days

so say you have 20 moths and 10 are male and 1 are female thats 10mothsx20eggs = 200 eggs per day x 10days thats roughly 2000 eggs between all the moths. obviously not all hatch but you can grasp the scale of them reproducing...

instead of using tights, can you not just put some air holes in the lid? the waxworms i buy from the shops come in a green pot with air holes in and they seem to do fine in them.
Thanks
