Why is there not much on the internet about moth behavior for example what is the behavior of a dying moth and a pregnant moth?
Female moths emerge from their cocoons with all their eggs fully formed in their abdomens, and the eggs are not fertilized until they are being laid (by male gametes stored in the female's spermatheca from mating). They keep laying eggs until they die in most cases. In other words, almost any female moth you find is a "pregnant moth", which is why there is no literature on behavior of pregnant moths.
