Artificial Diets for Butterflies and Moths

At ExploraVie, we specialize in developing and supplying high-quality artificial diets tailored for various species of Lepidoptera, including butterflies and moths. Our formulations are designed to support optimal larval growth, improve survival rates, and simplify rearing in both research and educational settings. Whether you're working with native species or exotic ones, we offer custom blends that replicate natural host plant nutrition while ensuring consistency and biosecurity. By removing the dependence on seasonal or hard-to-source foliage, our diets allow year-round rearing and scalable production for conservation, education, and commercial purposes.

Flake Soil and Kinshi for Dynastinae, Cetoniinae, and Lucanidae

ExploraVie also provides premium substrates essential for rearing beetles from the Dynastinae (rhinoceros beetles), Cetoniinae (flower beetles), and Lucanidae (stag beetles) subfamilies. Our flake soil is carefully fermented and optimized for larval development, ensuring the right balance of nutrients, microbial activity, and texture. For species that thrive in mycelium-rich environments, we also produce kinshi, a wood substrate colonized with select mushroom species, tailored to the needs of Lucanus, Dorcus, Prosopocoilus, and Phalacrognathus beetles.

Each substrate is available in small research quantities or bulk formats for breeders, educators, and insect farmers. Our team combines entomological expertise with hands-on experience to guide you in choosing the right substrate and developmental stage for your species of interest.
