Our Silkworm Moth Laid Eggs!

What a surprise!  Our one female Silkworm moth has laid eggs! She seems to rarely move except to lay her eggs!



In three days the eggs will turn black if they are fertile, white if they are infertile.  They will hatch in about two weeks after being being subjected to "winter" in the refrigerator.  I read that they can live in the fridge for up to five years!
