Hi! I have started a breeding project with hornworms. I purchased 4 sexed pupas the moths have emerge and feeding and laying eggs. But the eggs dosent seem to hatch. I know they can lay infertil eggs bt i have observe mating. I cant find any good information on how long the eggs need to hatch or proper tempratur. I also would like to know if i can refrigerate the eggs? I live in Europe hornworms aren't easy available or cheap here.
 
If the eggs are fertile, they will hatch within 2-4 days after being laid. They are usually laid as a dark green color and turn a light yellow color when about to hatch. Room temperature is just fine. Anywhere from 75-80 F works.
