When silkmoths hatch, they are supposed to live 24 hours.
When a silkmoth hatches from it's cocoon it does not live 24 hours.
My moths mated before 24 hours and there were 10 extra females. Even though it had not been 24 hours, those females also died, after the other moths mated.
Did the females have depression because they had no mate and slit their wrists or what? They are supposed to live 24 hours.
Here is the big issue with this. I once a bunch of moths hatch while I was sleeping, and then turn into eggs. I ended up with half of my production wiped, because I couldnt match the males with the females, because I put 12 cocoons in each cupboard, and then when they mated, all the leftovers slit their wrists, essentially fucking me over.
