Polyphemus Silkmoth Cocoon -- Antheraea polyphemus
****Available again in November 2026
**SHIPPING to ALL 50 States.
This is the largest silkmoth in the Pacific Northwest. Caterpillars get huge, feeding on a variety to broadleaf trees.
Adult moths do not feed. Instead they live off their built up energy reserves from the larval stage. Because of this, the moths only live about 7-10 days after hatching in spring.
Item Details:
- You will receive one Polyphemus Silkmoth cocoon, inspected for quality and weight before shipping.
- Cocoon is diapausing (sleeping through the winter for eclosion in SPRING 2026)
- We guarantee shipping a live cocoon. Because this is a live animal, there are no other guarantees after shipment.
- We recommend ordering two (2) or more cocoons as occasionally one won't make it through winter/fridge. This is rare, but does occur in nature from time to time.
General Directions:
- Keep inside in a pop-up tent/rearing cage (also available on our site), on top of paper towel.
- Mist every few days, as inside air is quite dry.
- (On Arrival) Around Thanksgiving/End of November, place cocoons into a sealed container and into the refrigerator.
- Keep in the fridge at approximately 38F, venting monthly for a few minutes and removing any visible moisture.
- Remove from fridge in spring, about 3 weeks prior to the natural flight of this species in the region. We typically remove Polyphemus cocoons around June 1st.
- Again place cocoons in pop-up tent on a layer of paper towel. Mist daily.
- Cocoon should eclose (hatch) in 3-6 weeks.
- Wild release
- There are many resources and online groups to handle questions about live silkmoths and pupa care. Send us an email if you get stuck :)

Great introduction to Godot 4
Format: Kindle
I've been writing various types of software for 10 years and was interested in learning Godot for 2D games. This book turned out to be informative and easy to follow and gave me the knowledge I was seeking. I learn best by example, and this project focused book was excellent in that regard.
If you have zero programming experience, I would recommend learning something like Python before diving into this book. The book teaches with GDScript, which is Godot's Python-like programming language.
There are some minor mistakes in the book, but an errata is currently being kept up-to-date on the github repository for the book. I opened a few issues for things I discovered, and the author added those things to the errata. Keep this in mind if you end up getting stuck on something and are 100% sure you followed the directions in the book.
I use Unreal for 3D games, so I have not yet gone through the chapters of this book for 3D games. I wouldn't expect a drastic drop in quality, but for the purposes of this review I can't give any insight on the 3D chapters.

A very frustrating experience
Format: Paperback
I very rarely write reviews for things, but I felt compelled to do so for this book based on my experience.
I had an amazing experience with this book for the first 3 chapters. There were some errors and things just plain missing in those chapters, but I was able to debug and provide solutions for those things. For example, some lines of code were omitted and score keeping was completely left out from Chapter 3. I have since found that errata is helpfully published on the GitHub repository. Overall I had a lot of fun working through the first 3 chapters.
Chapter 4 is where I decided to give up and move on to other resources. I found the lack of guidance on level design and truly understanding and using tile maps and tile sets downright frustrating. Perhaps this chapter would be more approachable if I had prior game development experience. The author very much glosses over level design and it went from a poor explanation of the concept to just "now design your level". Referencing the finished project from the GitHub repository did not provide much assistance either.
If you are new to game development, I think the first 3 chapters are a helpful introduction and they have definitely furthered my interest in both Godot and game development. However, I had to bail after Chapter 4 in search of better material.
Perhaps I will return to the book after learning more from other resources.
