Rearing insects

In this activity, students use information from a video of Dr Robert Hoare rearing moths from eggs and caterpillars in the laboratory to write a ‘how to’ guide for rearing moths.

By the end of this activity, students should be able to:

• describe the life cycle of a moth

• explain in detail how they could rear a moth in the classroom or at home

• present and/or publish their own guide on how to raise a moth.
