York Insectarium Silkmoth Kits

York Insectarium is a new insect zoo coming to York Region, focused on hands-on encounters with the invertebrates that share our world. While the doors aren’t open yet, our captive-bred livestock is already available here, starting with native giant silk moths. Watch the pale green luna moth unfold its trailing tails, the polyphemus moth reveal its giant eyespots, or the io moth flash its hidden “eyes.” Each kit comes with a care sheet, and a rearing cage option is available.

Live exhibits, birthday parties and travelling insect shows are coming soon.
