Hello Kees,
You dont need to have them hibernate in the fridge , just room temperature will do. I think they will hatch spring next year.
Dear Matthijs
This is the first answer that someone has got for questions like these in the last weeks. Maybe you can tell me if it's the same with Actias luna and Actias artemis?
I would be very glad if you could help me
Matthias
I'm not entirely sure, have no experience with this species,
but i think that because often in the winter the temperature in the room drops anyway, especially at night, which creating a sort of diapause occurs in pupae.

I think it's better to keep the cocoons at about 5°C (Actias luna und artemis auch). Room temperatur will be more than 15°C and I think they will hatch. They aren't from the tropics.
