Polyphemus Moth Hatched!!!

So, today our Polyphemus moth hatched! It is gigantic! Mrs.Sims walked in to class and saw that it hatched, so she called David over and because they only live for 2 to 4 days, they decided to let it go. They brought it outside and it sat limp on Mrs.Sims hand. They thought it was dead, but they decided to keep it so the class could see. But when Mrs.Sims came in this morning, it was fluttering around in the cage! And we noticed eggs in the cage! We are going to let it go today if the weather clears up.
When Mrs.Sims came in this morning

Antenna of males and females
