The eggs are often laid on the surface of cocoons that the moths have previously emerged from. [8] [3] Unlike most Japanese saturniid moths, the moths overwinter as eggs, rather than as a pupa. [8] Experiments conducted on R. fugax found that eggs kept at 25 degrees Celsius resulted in death. Delayed hatching directly correlated to colder ...
