Domestic Silk Worms and alot of them

Well hello there Hivers!

I went in to load up some things at my co worker's house. Now he has two little kiddo's and they got their hands on some silk worms at school and brought them home!

Well everyday when I arrive at work he would casually ask me if I would like to have some worms, he says it's getting out of hand. Everyday I casually tell him "No uncle I'm fine, perhaps when I get them kiddo's one day" and this has been going on for about three weeks now 🤣

To be quite honest I also dabbled with these worms when I was a youngling in primary school so I would actually not mind to have a few but our Mulberry tree doesn't have leafs yet so when they do get some I'm going to tell him "Uncle I would like to have some worms now."

In the picture below you can see the silk that they spun, a long with a few dead silk moths. I think some of them got trapped in their own silk cocoons or I dunno I'm not a insect specialist 🤣

I wish I could have taken some more photos but time moved a little bit too fast and we had work that needed doing! But I was able to get a quick video of these silk worms before we had breakfast at his house.

He has to constantly add a few leafs in the morning and some more at night, I suppose in a weeks time that rate would have doubled or perhaps even tripled. I sure hope not.

Here I am casually lifting up the leafs exposing even more of these silk worms, there are literally hundreds and hundreds in these boxes and he has like 6 of these boxes 😁

Only adding this so that people can understand the basic life cycle of these worms. It's quite interesting how these fellas transform from worms to moths in only a few days.

Stay tuned I might write another post on these worms, maybe start my own little silk worm farm and document how fast they reproduce! I dunno maybe😁

Sharing my life experience on the Hive blockchain is a great pleasure for me to do, I have been on the hive blockchain since the days of steemit, I only recently rediscovered this blockchain and I completely forgot what a blast it was sharing my everyday life and its happenings with the blockchain and its community's. I want to give a big thanks to all of the supporters out there making the blockchain great and adding value to it everyday.

Once again your feedback would be highly valued and appreciated.
