SPork New Member Aug 1, 2013 #1 I was looking at my silkworm pupating bin and found this guy, looks like he forgot to make a silk coccoon before starting to pupate. Anyone ever encountered anything like this before?

Lathis Chameleon Enthusiast Aug 1, 2013 #2 That happened to several of mine during my first foray into silkworm breeding. Two of them even transformed into moths. I thought it was strange, too. It's odd but seems to be normal. I'm not sure, but I suspected they were interrupted while spinning and ran out of silk. The moths are super adorable, btw
