Moths can be sourced from other hobbyists as eggs or as adult cocoons. To raise them you must have access to the moth species host plant. Then all you need is a cage to rear them in.
I have found most the people I know who share specimens through Instagrams entomology community. If you want to contact me there, I can link to other users. Also interesting if you like seeing insect collections.
Otherwise, this HORRIBLE excuse for a website is actually one of the best resources for acquiring eggs and cocoons. The guy who runs it also posts a lot of basic rearing info.
Here is a Cheap cage
Here are some super nice cages
And this is the best place to find any other entomology supply thing under the sun Another horribly ugly site, but one of science's oldest institutions
Silk moths or Saturniidae, the family of which Attacus atlas is a part of are some of the most fun moths to rear. Most feed on readily available hardwood trees like maple, cherry, or oak. They are large and colorful, like the Io moth or Luna moth.These Cecropias (that's my face) are actually native to North America but we rarely ever see them because they live a very short amount of time, and only fly way up in the trees at night.
Edit: Thank you to whomever gave me gold!
