We have successfully stored them in the refrigerator for 4 months with minimal loss. The chance of morphosis into moths is minimal, as their lifespan in the larval stage is as long as 6 years. You may see that they occasionally spin cocoons, but this is not an indication of pending morphosis. Because of their tolerance to both heat and cold, we feel that shipping during the hottest and coldest weather will result in minimal mortality. Prices do not include ship ping.
Quantity depends upon sizes in cup.
