I have like 4 moths now that hatched 2 days ago and they still havent mated what do i do? Are they suppose to be in something with a lot of room? do they need light? I have them in with a bunch of other cocoons is this alright? They are just kinda sitting in one spot most of the time wings going 90 mph lol.
 
I think so, I just did some research and figured out that the ones flapping there wings all the time are males because there trying to attract a female.
 
Silkworms/moths are so over domesticated and messed up by humans that sometimes they need a little help. Pick up a male and put it directly next to a female. that might help
 
Females are bigger, and don't move around much. They put off a scent to drive males into a frenzy.

If you have the two sexes, you will know. Male flaps wings like a mad man and moves his backend all around looking for a female to bump it into, and hook up.
