My biggest fear at the moment is that one of the silkworms is going to get stepped on!
I came home this afternoon to find five or six of the little critters creeping around on the floor, probably having dropped off the edge of their tank in a bid to find a spot to anchor their cocoon!
Spinning is proceeding happily.
The silkworms make just as much noise spinning as they do eating!
Did you know that the length of silk thread produced to make one cocoon exceeds six hundred metres?
