The colours of the cocoons are many and varied.
The one above is almost white.
More and more of the silkworms are spinning their cocoons.
It won't be long now before they've all done so.
Some of the smaller silkworms have been separated from the adult silkworms because I don't think that they're capable of competing for the food and were at risk of suffocating.
All continue to thrive.
It's almost a full time job keeping up the feeding, the transferring and the cleaning.
Once more I've got Mr Honey Pie to thank for keeping up the supply of mulberry leaves!
