Butterworms are not native to the USA they are imported.

The ButterWorm is the soft-bodied larval stage of the Chilean Moth (Chilecomadia moorei) which is known to inhabit the mountains in central Chile. Collected in tebo trees and shipped weekly to us, they are so named because the Chilean Moth lives and lays it's larva in the Tebo Tree. Picked by hand the Butterworms(aka:Teboworms) is used extensively in European counties for fishing and pet foods
We have our USDA Permit( Approved ) to import and ship Teboworms in the USA. We believe that it is a good food source for the reptile industry. Easily shipped and stored, and with excellant nutritional content.
