# content: 'The Polyphemus moths have begun to emerge from their cocoons - 7 females and 2 males emerge in one day. I put the females into 3 separate mating boxes and leave them by an open window so that they can release their pheromones. By 1 am, they have called in a couple of male moths. I mate two of the females with wild males.'

# content: 'The female Polyphemus has laid a total of 103 eggs. Half of these eggs are now in the Ecology Lab under modified temperature and humidity conditions. As a control measure, the other half of the eggs have been placed in a natural area, their habitat was not modified in any way so that they are subject to natural conditions.'
# content: 'A total of 10 males and 1 female Cecropia Moths have emerged, which is a stark contrast to the sex ratio of the Polyphemus moths. I will attempt to mate the female tonight using the same method as the Polyphemus moths. I will also be releasing the males tonight, but I have tagged them with small stickers to prevent inbreeding should they find their way back to the female through her pheromones.'
# content: 'Successfully mated a Cecropia moth at 2:40 am on June16th, and over the next 2 days she laid 153 eggs into a paper bag. However, she presented odd behaviour while laying eggs, and laid thick bundles of 10-20 eggs on her legs rather than on the bag. Usually a female will lay groups of 3 eggs randomly, and never on her own body. I removed them from her and pulled apart the eggs before the substrate used to stick eggs to leaves completely dried. However I do not know if I have accidentally damaged any eggs in the process, despite my carefulness. This will be interesting to observe once the caterpillars begin to hatch in 10-14 days. '
