How can you tell if a silk moth is a male or female?

Ok. So my little sister brought home these silk worms that her teacher gave her on the last day of school. Well they cocooned and two so far have hatched. We are trying to figure out how to tell which are which. Help us please (:|||The adults don't feed because they have reduced mouthparts. Adult females are much fatter than the males because they carry eggs.
