Hand-pairing Saturniidae of different species

I made one movie on hard-pairing of Saturnia:
www.insectnet.com/videos/field/park/park.htm

The pairing takes places about 3/4 of he way through the movie. It might be helpful.

I handcrossed a numbers of African Saturniidae. The technic I used is always the same.
exiting the moths by brushing the top of the abdomen. There is not a precise rule, the aim being to obtain the valvas of the males open and close regularly and the genital tip of the females extruded (as it is the case when she is calling). After, you have to put together the two tips of the abdomen in the right position and expect the male taking rightly and hardly the tip female abdomen.
The difficulty is to keep hardly the two specimens one in each hands during the operation (that sometimes takes some dozens minutes, longer is always synonym of failure) and used the free fingers to help the abdomen coming in the good position.
When the male is "well accroched" to the female (you can take as reference pairing you have yet seen) you can release him and he become quiet like he sleeps. after you can release the female hoping she accepted the pairing and do not move too much (otherwise the male will also move and detach).
The pairing can take some dozen minutes to few hours. You know that it succeed when young larves hatch (or with experience after some days you can detect via the shape of the egg if it is fecondated or not).
There is big part of feeling when you do handpairing.
sorry because my english is too poor to be more precise and explicit.

At least the eggs haven't collapsed yet, so I guess something is developing inside. Let's see what happens.
