Hornworm eggs galore..

I know this thread is old but if anyone sees this I was wondering what you do with the eggs once you harvest them I just want to know what the steps between harvesting them and them hatching are if possible

Haven't been on this site in a long time, but I got the email alert. I haven't raised Hornworms since this occurrence, but if I remember correctly I just put them in a container with some food. That is it. I believe the container I used had an air vent that was too big and I remember having tiny hornworms all over the container. They are hearty little guys, but hard to round up the escapees without injury them because they are so tiny. I don't think they really need that much air so a couple air holes should suffice. Just put them in a tupperware shoebox with some food and they should find their way to it when they hatch.

Where did you purchase your original hornworms?
