Yea, it's not hard, there so much I can say. I keep temp at 88F. Also when the moths hatch, you gotta make sure they all hatch around the same time. If your moth comes out a cocoon before the others, I put them in the refrigerator because they only live a few days and die. Moths don't eat. So put them in fridge until others hatch. Females have bigger abdomens, plus you will know, they should mate within the next 2 hours. If not, you probably have the same sex. :)
Males will flutter there wings a lot but none can fly. Any more questions you can email me and I'll help ya out. :)
