Emperor eggs to a good home

My female has laid 2 large batches of eggs. I tried letting her go but she came back to the light trap (even though i left it a while after dusk before switching on) and, interestingly, was calling for 2 days after mating. This may mean she is still infertile for some reason but if anyone else wants to have a go I won't be keeping them.

    Laying eggs is usually a sign of having been paired up, so fingers crossed they are fertile.
