“The puzzle? Where will the next generation of parent line eggs come from?”

That’s a really dumb question. If 200 eggs are laid per parent line female it would take 1 million parent line females and 1 million parent line males to produce 200 million offspring (both parent line and hybrid). You only need to select the best 10 thousand of those 2 million parent line moths (5000 male,5000female) to keep the parent lines going and maintain a consistent amount of production(plus whatever the loss factor is). You don’t stop producing parent lines just because you have started cross breeding for hybrids. The hybrids should be produced from the parent line culls.

They should already have a couple million parent line worms, or at least 200,000, so if they have to breed 80% to grow the parent lines it makes me wonder what the hell they have been doing.
