Day Two

Here is one of the silkworms that hatched yesterday.

You can see that the tiny little critters have eaten a lace pattern into the mulberry leaves.

This is what the unhatched eggs look like.

These are new hatchlings emerging overnight. There was a full moon this morning at 06.17 hours on 11.11.11.

Newborns on day two.

No hatchlings seemed to emerge yesterday afternoon.

Seems that they may prefer to hatch overnight and early morning.

The plan is to lure the hatchlings onto fresh mulberry leaves and then to transfer them to the second tank until all the worms have emerged from the eggs.
