Product Information
Bombyx mori. When hatched, the small, gray 2 1/2&" larvae are the traditional source for high-quality silk. Over thousands of years of domestication and selective breeding the modern silkworm has lost its ability to fly. Eggs, each roughly the size of a pinhead, come glued onto a petri dish. They can remain refrigerated for up to a year, allowing for easy storage and access. Eggs will hatch in 10–14 days if kept at 75–85°F. Care instructions and 1/2 pound of silkworm diet included. Package of 50.

| The eggs hatched but only lived a couple of weeks. I was very disappointed. |

| The eggs took over two weeks to hatch, which was not the problem. Making the food was absolutely unnecessary and a huge mess. It is not necessary to feed the silkworms the food provided since they naturally eat mulberry leaves. The food was not eaten by the silkworms AT All. I had to end up throwing away the expensive microwave dish I made it in. It was just too disgusting to keep. Of the 50 silkworms sent, only about half hatched. For the future...sell this item with the option of no food, so it can be sold at a price most teachers can afford. |

| Within a period of 12 hours, all of the eggs hatched. The food was easy to mix up and the silkworms are thriving. |
