Default Eggs laid by Indian moon moth- hatch- 26,27-4

These were laid two weeks back and I'd no idea if they were fertile or not
as you can see the male did the business


Here's the female

Close up

And now I'm over run with them- 20 hatched last night now at least double that!!

No the female is in my hand no trickery she is massive
the moths only live about 2-3 weeks females live longer so far they have for me due to vast abdomen size compared with males.

Net mesh cages like the ones you can other inverts in, the nets are very handy I'll get a picture up for you.
