It will be about a week before the moth hatches. The moths don't fly or eat, so you can put the cocoon in a plastic container with out a lid. Line the container with papertowel because the moth will expel the waste from the metamorphosis and that can get messy! You can feed the moth at anytime. If you have a female moth, ur chams "poo" will contain eggs as the moth passes, so don't be alarmed!! The moths live from a few days to a week. You may have others ready or almost ready to spin, since they grow at a similar rate. Put some toilet paper or cut paper towel rolls in with your worms to spin in. Have fun!!
yes they are flightless. cant fly.
I know, i saw yours, that is why I don't think I can have the heart to do it! I guess i would have to set it in the cage and walk away cause I surely do not want to see him eating it,I have enought trouble seeing him eat the silkworms because they are so gentle and sweet!Be prepared for mega cuteness! I LOVE silkmoths - they've got to be the prettiest moths ever!
ill try to have them posted later tonight and hopefully tomorrow ill have some that have pupated however i did try this before with a big one i took it out and put it in a separate container with a toilet paper roll and some mulberry leaves and he died after a day started to go black and was laying on its back
