Oops, moths out of the cocoon

[auroborus]

i left my luna moths in my garage a little too long and they started to emrege, i have 5 that came out, the rest i through into the refrigerator that night. a female and and 4 males came out and there already mating. does anyone know what i can feed them? and were do i order enough of it? i dont expect many eggs, due to me having too many caterpillars to feed when raising them they all got dwarfed, but there still awesome.

the adults? as far as i know once they reach adulthood they stop eating entirly.
as for the caterpillars it seems they eat whatever they whatever plant they were hatched on. seems hickory, walnut, sweet-gum, persimmon, and birch trees are all favored menu items.

ya can post pics, how do u delete old pics so i can post new ones? yes the moth doesnt eat, and with fall here there are no leaves to gather from the trees. maybe that man made butterfly caterpillar food will work.
