The silkworms are eating mulberry leaves at record speed.
They can't wait to turn into moths.
I can only imagine that my Grand Daughter has been inspired by our rearing of silkworms to have drawn and cut out the above images without any prompting from the grown-ups in her life.
The silkworms continue to grow, I continue to feed and keep clean their house.
Part of the cleaning process involves removing the silkworms' droppings.
The proper term for silkworm droppings is 'frass'.
Adding frass to your garden beds is said to aid flowering plants to bloom.
It is important to keep the silkworms' house clean to prevent mould growing and causing the silkworms to become sick.
The silkworms' house should be cleaned out at least every two days.
Not only should the frass be removed, but any dried up leaves as well.
