Thanks for that, Eska. You, Truth, Cluck Kent, Rayo, Lebbe and First Mike are all doing a great job of helping me grasp exactly what is going on with this technology.

I just cannot wait to get this show on the road. My immediate goal right now is .10. That would make me very happy.

Hi Esk,
Actually my mention of asexual reproduction was just a thought, I doubt Kraig would actually need it. I was more thinking that if the moths were all bred to be female, there would be more females to multiply the number of eggs produced in a shorter amount of time, leading to an earlier mass production date. If one imagines such a scenario using two sexual methods, there could be both 'normally' reproducing moths for 'crossing' to get new types, and a second solely for production which would 'only' produce females to multiply the number of eggs to cocoons/silk without the time needed for courtship. But, just the same, thanks for the link to the great video info, Esk, I've already started watching some of it. It's quite complex and I'll watch it in segments to soak it all in, but there's quite a lot of good info there.
