Silk Moth female laying - pics and video!

Today, my first pair of silk moths separated and the female instantly started a laying frenzy! Quite fascinating - she is in a tub on her own that is lined with paper towel, but the odd thing is that she seems to be laying the eggs in the indented pattern on the tissue, lol!

The first pic shows her ovipositor


another of her laying


Here is the video of her laying her precious cargo - it was much better on the camera, but uploading it and changing the format to make the file smaller has ruined the quality, but you get the idea!

Good job congrats!!
So my little girls was holding a moth this morning and she said something that reminded me of you haha!
She said "I don think I can feed these to the chameleon they're just to cute."
Did you creep into her dreams or something?

Lol! Well they are just too cute, haha! I was watching mine today, and I almost caved in to feed a couple of the males off ..... until I saw them washing their antennae and washing their little faces with their feet! These are staying as pets, lol! Been trying to get a video of them washing their faces, but I always seem to miss it!

You have males with to much time on their Hands lol mine are straight for business haha just think about that smile you'll get for a thank you from you Cham well worth the feed off

Thats pretty cool.
