Virginia Creeper Sphinx (Darapsa myron; Sphingidae) - LIVE Pupa, Overwintering

--------------------

Each order contains one (×1) live Virginia creeper sphinx (Darapsa myron) pupa. This is a small, greenish-gray sphinx moth.

These pupae are in diapause (overwintering) and are expected to eclose in spring or summer 2027 depending on your local climate.

Pupae can be overwintered in the refrigerator in a plastic container. Once the weather warms, remove them from the refrigerator and expose them to natural temperature and daylength cycles.

All pupae are weighed to assess viability prior to shipping and are guaranteed to be alive at time of shipment. I cannot be responsible for any failures once they are in your care. The easiest way to check if pupae are still viable is to weigh them with a macro scale. Record the initial weight after receiving them and reweigh them periodically to monitor changes. Some weight loss is normal over time (~10-20%), especially as pupae are close to eclosing, but dead pupae will become nearly weightless.
