Day Twenty One

Over the past twenty four hours many of the silkworms have been busy moulting.

The silkworms are now big enough to see the moults clearly.

The little flat fishy looking things are the silkworms old skins, which they have grown out of.

When the silkworms are moulting, they tend not to be as active as at other times.

But once out of their old skins they eat and eat and eat.

In fact at the larva stage the main activity of the silkworm is eating.
