Cool!! We used to get silk worms for the kids to watch...it was so fun watching them eat the mulberry leaves and then go into coccoon. Only problem was, to get the silk you have to kill the moth while it is in the coccoon. I never did that...I just let them come out as moths. I couldn't kill them!!
