The silkworms, now ever so fat, stopped eating and started to wander around as if looking for something. This is the day before spinning began.
 |
| 34 days after the first larva hatched, the first silkworm started to spin in the corner of the box. |
 |
| Different setups were tried to provide a suitable place for them to spin. This was only 50% successful as they were unsettled and kept wandering around. | |
| |
 |
| However one started spinning...... |
 |
| And another...... |
 |
| The silk was beautiful and shone in the light. |
 |
| Other caterpillars were still looking for a good place to spin... "Is there any room in here?" |
 |
| One caterpillar escaped into the living room... | |
