This habitat box is designed to be perfect for an ailanthus webworm moth. There’s a bowl on the bottom to collect water so the moths can stay hydrated, and metal wires shaped as leaves to mimic their favored habitat. The UV paint lets the moths know that this is a place they can call home sweet home!
