Laying eggs

Females lay about 300 to 500 eggs, which hatch within roughly 7 to 14 days.

The female moths faithfully and carefully lay their eggs.













The eggs become darker as they develop.


Macro shows development of the tiny silkworms inside the eggs. (This is described fully in the first post.)  And so the cycle of the life of the silkworm continues.
