Wow cool idea man. I like it.
For the silks I used a baby changing station that was collecting dust in the attic and some flex watt with a rheostat. Thanks for the comments it's working fantastic as you can see by my following posts I have eggs hatching!!! 
I also have more pinheads hatching and that feeder shelf is done the same way and the Dubia are loving it!!! Crickets also seem to be doing better. I was using ceramic heat emitters for the feeder shelf but this is working much better!!!

You wont be able to breed butter worms. They irradiate them prior to export from Chile so that they will not reproduce.
I thought I heard that, oh well I will find another feeder to breed,
thanks for the nice comment, coming from you that means a lot!!! My computer has been on your silkworm and hornworm care guides for the last two weeks!!!!!
