Hi everyone,
I am planning to start a silkworm breeding colony. My plan is to have two small sterilite containers for the larvae stage as I grow them and then a third sterilite container for the pupating adults and then breeding moths. I am going to keep all these containers in one larger container. For eggs I will use a small incubator. One question I have is for the larvae and adult stages do I need some outside heating source, or would it be OK to grow them at room temperature? For some comparison, the room temperature had some horned worms grow fairly large in a week. Thanks.
