Antheraea polyphemus - Mating / Oviposition

A female Poly I found scents and attracts a male (after attracting four others others on different nights) and finally mates 8 days after eclosing. The rainbow lines do not show up on my camera they must be a conversion issue. The night shots were taken by an old VHS Sony camcorder, the ovipositing shots a Panasonic SDR-S26. This project is expected to be completed summer of 2011.
