It's a GIRL :)) Silkmoth

My first moth hatched this morning while I was asleep . I am ecstatic I wasn't sure if any of them would hatch since I had such a hard time raising these guys . Not an easy task breeding sick silkworms I started out with 80 and ended up with only 33 cocoons but hey I'm pleased as punch . Yesterday I found out I had the timing wrong its not 3 weeks after spinning that they emerge its only about two .I put her down back with the other cocoons . It was easy to tell which ones around her are male their cocoons were wobbling all over the place picking up on her pheromones .  Come on boys time to come out and join the party :)

















Hey Look ! I caught a fairy ! hee hee I'll have to call
her Tinker Bell now of course wow she is really reflective .
