Raising Cecropia Moths

The video is of the female Cecropia fluttering around which she does for long periods of time each evening.  Once she was done laying, I cut out all the eggs from the paper bag and dropped them into a raising container.  After fluttering around for so long in a paper bag, Mrs. Cecropia was pretty beat up.  By the next morning, she was dead.  She now holds a place of honour on my bulletin board.
