I found this article very interesting, but i'm not surprised as i've already seen this for myself after raising silkmoths. I kept mine separated by gender, and after a few days I left the cage door with all my males open to see how long it would take for them to reach the cage with the females, and a few of them flew across my room. After laying eggs, I had a female silk moth I brought outside actually fly for almost 2 minutes around my yard just like a normal moth flight. I could not believe my eyes. If I raise them again in Summer I will get video of it.
Something cool to try if your raising them. Also, anyone know where I can see pictures of male and female silkmoth pupae to id them?
