Carolina Teacher Tips - Silkworms
Silkworms have been reaised by humans for thousands of years and can no longer fly.
The silk thread harvested from a single silkworm cocoon can be a mile long
The caterpillar increases in size 10,000 times before it is big enough to spin a cocoon
It takes 40,000 silkworm cocoons to make 18 lbs. of silk
Silkworm eggs may be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 years and still hatch
Adult moths do not eat and drink - they mate and die
