It is actually illegal to send livestock via normal postage options (I have been lead to believe), you are supposed to use guarateed next day, but we never did, we used to do it all the time with exotic moth caterpillars!!!

what are moth catarpillars?

[Nutty_Netti]

Moth caterpillars are the caterpillars that eat everything before turning into pupae and transforming into moths. Some of the caterpillars can grow to 2/3 inches before pupating...

I thought you could post inverts via Royal mail?

sorry:::: Got it wrong - just looked it up for myself instead of listening to other people. You can send insects and certain other live products via royal mail, but it must be first class.

have you any left? i promise they're not going to be food. i already have 5 gals & my friend's son is insterested in keeping a couple after he saw mine.

just to let everyone know i'm still not posting yet, sorry!
have some tv appearances and radio/newspaper, so will see what appeal that brings first, as i would like to know where they are going

Not that i don't trust you all! it just is a lot easier for me and the people collecting, knowing what they see is what they're taking home rather than the poor babes suffering in this cold weather we're having
