Polyphemus egg depositation Question

[Discord]

I recently captured a female Polyphemus moth.  Will this moth lay eggs even
if it has not had a chance to mate?  So far it has deposited one egg in a 24
hour period.   Is there any way of telling if it has mated?

Any help on this will be much appreciated!
