Have you read any of the extensive literature on this subject ? Wax moth eggs are easily collected by (1)setting up a culture in a gallon jar, with less than an inch of "pablum" or an equivalent baby food; (2) adding a few wax moths or "worms"; (3) fan-folding a sheet or two of waxed
paper (the more folds, the better) and dropping it into the jar; (4) waiting a few days and extracting the paper. The eggs will be found in flat masses along the bottom of the folds. It is usually a good idea to stand the jar in a pan of water, or many small worms will get out.
You might consult with Dr. Spangler through the webpage below if you have any questions - he has been working with them for 30 years.
