A code, then "Moth" written on a paper, stuck over the original word on the glass which ended in "RA". A moth gestating in the pupal stage can be seen inside the glass cage as well.
Just a wink to the classic monster.

This would mean a MUTO lays spores/eggs in its pray.
Since it was a godzilla I guess it was dead before the spores/eggs were layed. So why would it put them there? Is the carcass radioactive?
And if a species uses spores to reproduce how come it also lays eggs?
Or were the spores grown eggs?

Female Scientist: Is it
him?
Ken Watanabe: No.
Eggs laid dormant because of lesser radiation on/around earth's surface. Male MUTO in it's caterpillar state dragged itself to the Janjira plant and fed on it through it's pupal stage, before hatching.
Original, long-dead MUTO might have been asexual. Would explain the eggs.

But the female MUTO destroying the train didn't seem to care for it at that time. Weird mating ritual perhaps?
She also seemed loaded with shiny eggs before she even met the male.
And they don't really imply they mate. The female just receives the bomb and starts nesting.
If they need radiation for nesting, why don't just pick a power plant?
Again, maybe part of the mating ritual.

Nest of eggs were destroyed by Ford Brody, using fuel from downed oil tanker trucks.
Female MUTO attacked train and took bomb, which was later fused with the giant egg nest to let the eggs feed on it's radiation.
Eggs were shining after Male MUTO met Female MUTO, and Male MUTO "gifted" a nuke to the Female MUTO upon first meeting.
Asexual reproduction, since both MUTOs fed on radiation.
Janjira nuclear plant was exhausted. Hence the target was the California bay.

Ford started the ship on AUTO and it sped beyond the San Francisco broken bridge into open ocean. He fell down exhausted, watching Godzilla fall over the city in the distance. Nuke showed timing of 5 minutes and 40-something seconds. Couple minutes later, he was airlifted by a passing chopper, and the nuke exploded when he was in the chopper, flying away. Safe to assume it was beyond any harmful radius of the city/navy ships.

Feeding on radiation doesn't mean necessarily they might be.
