Day One.

I'm like an excited mother with a new born babe.


I know the photo's not great but after a two and a bit weeks of waiting for our silk worm eggs to hatch, I was beginning to loose hope.
Then this morning...six little hatchlings arrived.
I should have know that they'd emerge so close to a full moon.  Silly me.

If you look carefully, those fuzzy dark stripes, well, they are silk worms!



My first reaction was to rush out and pick some mulberry leaves for the tiny little darlings.
Next, I isolated them from the main tank, for fear that they may get lost.
In less than five minutes one little one had made its way to the freshly picked leaves.
Hope you can join me on a journey of a different kind!
