I don't think you can do it because of the nature of the species, yamamai overwinter as ova, opposite of polyphemus.
It would pose a problem with the diapause, if you had polyphemus adults from a second brood, maybe you could get adults at the same time.
It would be interesting, and you'd have an issue with foodplant most likely. Maybe live oak would work. I think you would need polyphemus that are naturally double brooded, but that is something I don't know , maybe you could manipulate their life cycle by rearing them indoors with lights and a longer photo period as summer progressed.

The polyphemus here are double brooded I think.
Not sure though.
I see adults 2 times per year , usually in April or May, and then in August or September
I'd call that double brooded, you must live in a warmer part of the USA.
