The silk worms are getting quite large now and one has spun it's cocoon, and the pupa forms inside. It will stay that way for about 2 weeks before the moth comes out.
The cocoon is spun from one continuous strand of silk about 1/2 mile long. It was quite exciting for the children this morning to see the cocoon, they didn't want to start the morning, but we did. We spent a lot of time discussing the process.
