Hundreds of moth larvae

[chameleon97]

I caught some moths a few nights ago... and one layed eggs. i decided to keep them, and sureley enough, hundredsof moth larvae came out.
im feeding them dandilion, raspberry leaves and grass. what else should i use?
is this a good idea to raise these and possibly breed them? Would they be a great feeder for lucy? i have no idea what kind they are...

Well post some pictures... otherwise if you don't know what they are I would not chance feeding them, even if they are moths.

I dont have a camera that takes close ups of 1mm long larvae

I meant that i dont know what kind of moths they are. i will keep the, and when they get bigger ill show pics.

Drab colored moths are generally pretty safe. Gaudy bright colors tend to indicate a toxidity.
