The Chilean Moth (Chilecomadia moorei) is a [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moth"]moth[/url] of the [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossidae"]Cossidae[/url] family. The Butterworm is the [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larva"]larval[/url] form and is commonly used as [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_bait"]fishing bait[/url] in South America.[url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterworm#cite_note-Pavia-1"][1][/url]
Butterworms, like [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mealworm"]mealworms[/url], are used as [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food"]food[/url] for [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insectivore"]Insectivore[/url] pets, such as [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko"]geckos[/url] and other [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptile"]reptiles[/url], as their scent and bright color help attract the more stubborn eaters. They are also called tebro worms or trevo worms, and are high in fat and [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium"]calcium[/url]. Tortoises may even be fed Butterworms due to the high calcium content. It is a good idea to feed a female tortoise Butterworms during egg development for well formed hatchlings. They are difficult to breed in captivity, and most are imported directly from [url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chile"]Chile[/url]. They are usually irradiated to kill bacteria and prevent pupation as the moth is an invasive species.[url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterworm#cite_note-Pavia-1"][1][/url].
