Species: Manduca sexta
Common Name: Tobacco Hornworm Moth
Item: One male + one female pupa (visually sexed)


📦 What You’re Getting

  • 1 male pupa

  • 1 female pupa

  • Carefully inspected and sexed prior to shipping

  • Healthy, late-stage hornworm pupae ready to emerge


🔍 How They’re Sexed

Manduca sexta pupae are sexed by examining abdominal segments:

  • Male: Small raised slit/opening higher on abdomen

  • Female: Larger oval opening lower on abdomen

(If you want, I can generate a clean sexing reference graphic for product listing use.)


⏳ Development Timeline

  • Pupae typically eclose (emerge) in 2–4 weeks

  • Warmer temps (75–80°F) speed emergence

  • Cooler temps (65–70°F) slow development

Do not refrigerate unless intentionally delaying emergence (short-term only).
