I'm just curious as to how many made it, if any adult moths bred, oviposited, etc. and if you have a new crop of baby hornworms.

Hi,
Sorry I haven't replyed sooner, I haven't been online as much lately...
I ended up with about 40 eggs, most hatched, but for some reason they went quite canabalistic in the first couple days despite the pre-made food around them(?) I suspect the food I had may have been slightly off or maybe they didn't recognize it as food? (not sure). Despite all that I still had 10 make it to full size and in about a week or so I'll have moths again!
This time hopefully I'll be more successfull... I plan to change the moths food a bit, have a larger breeding cage and I also have a smallish tobacco plant to try on the babies, it's a bit sad looking right now, but hopefully should make it at least the first few days (if I get eggs again that it).
