Welcome to my website!

My website is about breeding Lepidoptera in captivity, and provides tips and information to both beginners and more experienced breeders; as well as faunistic data about several taxonomic groups of moths. I, the owner of this website, Bart Coppens, would like to remind you that the contents of this website are based on my subjective personal experience. I am a Lepidopterist from the Netherlands, that breeds and records the life cycle of various species of moths in captivity. My aim is to record and also distribute this information, and to cultivate more respect and fascination for the wonderful world of insects.

Thanks for your readership.
The response this website has gotten is truly humbling; thank you my dear readers! Currently, it’s the biggest website on the internet about breeding moths – well, atleast in amounts of reads and visits, by far. In terms of quality, that’s subjective of course :^)

I would like to humbly thank you all for reading my website and following me online. Together, we will spread the good fight for insects.
