I know the feeling. I have 4 that emerged. Ugh so freaking cute. I constantly check the bin to see if any new ones emerged when I get home from work

Im actually gonna feed them to my cham after they mate and lay their eggs :-( I dont want to, but I try to mix it up for him as often as possible. I mean, they're gonna die anyway so why the waste..lol
 
It's a boy!:)

Here the first moth! Pretty sure is a boy! Still as nobody to mate with! Hopefully few more will hatch in the next few hours!;-)

Cool! Congrats! Cute l'il things aren't they?! Mine are having a mass orgy tonight, lol! My OH asked why is Amy's light making so much noise, but it was the moths all flapping about! Does look like a male to me too. I have noticed too that apart from having different sized antennae, they have different shaped rear ends too. The females rear is blunter and more open, whereas the males have a 'flappy' part right at the end. Kind of like the end of their bodies when they were caterpillars.

Lol! That's funny! How many you have now?
I really hope some more will come along soon to keep him company and do their job!;-)
Wondering how long will he survive..:rolleyes:
 
She brought them online rather than had moths lay them. When I bought some eggs online, I didn't realise they were taken out of diapause to send them, so I put them into the fridge and killed them!
