Empty Stapled Hornworm Cups + Dry Food Kit (No Worms)

Everything you need to set up cups for your next batch of hornworms or hornworm eggs: empty stapled hornworm cups and dry hornworm food. No worms are included.

What's in the kit

• Empty stapled cups (4 or 8): 24 oz deli cups with netting stapled in and vented lids. There is no food inside.
• Dry hornworm food (4 or 8 oz): the same diet we raise our own hornworms on.

Good for keepers who raise hornworms from hornworm eggs, or who split a big order across more cups so the worms stay fed and grow bigger.

How to mix the dry hornworm food

1. Bring water to a rolling boil.
2. Slowly stir in the dry food: 2 oz of food to 1.25 cups of water, 4 oz to 2.5 cups, 8 oz to 4 3/4 cups. That's 1 kg of dry food to 5 liters of water.
3. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer or blender until there are no clumps.
4. Pour it into the cups and let it set. Wait until the moisture is gone before adding worms and putting the lids on.
