Butterworms:  the hassle-free bait and feeder worm

updated 7/13/2010

butterwormsThe Tebo worm, or Butterworm as it is commonly called, is the larval stage of the Chilean moth (Chilecomadia Moorei). The worms are found in their natural habitat; the Tebo trees (Trevoa Trinervis) in Chilė, and are picked by hand with minimal impact to the ecological balance of the area. The Tebo worm is excellent bait and a very nutritious pet food that is growing in popularity around the world.

Our worms are guaranteed fresh and guaranteed live delivery.  They will stay plump and alive in your refrigerator for about 3-4 months without food or water.

Our prices are about the lowest in the industry.  If you already use silkworms or hornworms you will definitely want to consider adding butterworms to your feeder options.

Hassle-free storage:

No worm food to mess with, no tricky handling, no bad odors.  Storage: simply store the worms in the refrigerator (42-45 Fahrenheit).  At these temperatures the worm enters a state of hibernation and won’t require any food or water for at least 3-4 months.

As Exotic Pet Food:

The Tebo worm is a natural food source in the local ecology and is a great source of calcium and high in protein for reptiles, birds and fish.  Also the worm is soft bodied making it a very easily digested meal.

As Bait:

The Tebo worm has long been used by fishermen and is excellent bait for use in all freshwater fishing. The worm is large in size making it enticing to the fish.   In addition the worm is very tolerant to extreme temperatures making it great for Northern Hemisphere waters.
