At the end of last year I had some silkworms pupate, emerge as moths , mate and lay eggs. I then put the eggs into the fridge for a few months of diapause. About 10 days ago I took them out of the fridge and put them into a converted humid tub on top of Amy's vivarium where it was nice and warm, and yesterday the tiny silkies started to hatch! I had 14 yesterday and that was followed by another 70 or so today! I am so excited as I have never tried to breed these before and if I can the free food will be a total win!
Here's a few pics - in the first one you can see the holes in the eggs where the babies emerged!
The eggs - the grey/purple ones are yet to hatch and the white ones are empty cases.
