Butterworms are shipped in wheat bran, for bedding material and to absorb moisture. The Butterworm may eat a little while stored. They can be stored in the refrigerator at temperatures of 38-42 degrees F. Butterworms can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 months with minimal loss. Butterworms are a little more expensive than Silkworms BUT they have the advantage of being able to be stored for extended periods of time in the refrigerator.
This category doesn't have anything in it, but check back soon
NOTE RE BUTTERWORM PRICE INCREASE! Butterworms have become virtually impossible to get under the current situation. We know they are a very popular item and have managed to obtain a limited number for our valued customers! However, our cost has gone up SIGNIFICANTLY so we have had to raise our butterworm prices accordingly. Thank you.
