General Information, Caring For & Breeding Silkworms

Background

Silkworms are the larva of a moth (Bombyx mori) originating in Asia that spins a cocoon of good, strong, light fiber that is the source of commercial silk . The culture Silkworms called sericulture. The various species of silkworms raised today is characterized by the quality of the silk they produce. Feeding silkworms on the leaves of arrears (Morus sex) and sometimes in the osage orange (Maclura pomifera). Bombyx Mori does not bite, making them ideal for food worm most reptiles, amphibians and other animals, and offer great nutritional value. Nyfødt are small enough for most baby to eat small reptiles and silkworms can be operated so that it will increase the size desired. Silkworms are soft-bodied, slow and can reach 3 inches in length. They are also increasingly relatively quick, now about 3 inches long and ready to cocoon in only 25 to 28 days. Silkworms go through four stages of development, that most insects: egg, larva, dollars and adult education. Adults (Imago) is the stage moth silkworms. The caterpillar is the larva of silkworms. The dollar is the silkworms in the changes after spinning his cocoon before emerging as a moth. Since silk is more and more, therefore, must shed their skin four times at the same time is more and more. These steps-in-a-time, called stages. Today, silkworms butterfly lives only in captivity. Silkworms have been domesticated that can no longer survive independently in nature, particularly since they have lost the ability to fly. All populations are extinct. It also contributes to extinction is the extraordinary fact that eat mulberry leaves. Silkworms have been used by researchers to study attractive pheromones sexual or drugs. Pheromones are published by women and men moths detect chemicals with olfactory hairs on their antennae. This allows men to find women for mating. The male antennae are made of many small hairs to increase the chances of collecting small quantities of pheromones over long distances. Do
to grow at Worms, the perfect size
The great thing about silkworms, this is increasingly at a rate of more than feed them, and they can go one or two weeks without food. Let's say you have a couple of hundreds of young silkworms, but you have a big bull frog or iguana. All you have to do is mate Worms, all it takes to eat, stay warm and dry, and in a few days, you have a good sized worms. Do you have too many silkworms? No problem, is fed once or twice a week and stay alive until they need it, without much stronger growth. Wash hands thoroughly before handling food or worms or bacteria can develop problems. Using a cheese grater, grate a little food in worms and repeat until the worms reach the desired size. For best results, keep the temperature between 78? and 88? A. For a large number of training condensation in the tank after the food is the most important cause of failure. If this does not condensation, take the lid of its container and let the container age, and food completely dry. In the future, you want to make sure that the previous food is dry before using it again. Old wet and the food is a breeding ground for mold and other problems, dry food is not. Silkworms growing, you need to May their transfer to a large plastic container. Lokket should have ventilation holes. If not, you'll need to remove the lid so that silkworms are not stifled and that the condensation of hunting. You can also use a shoebox. The former Food and waste can be eliminated, but should not be whether it is still quite dry. Under ideal conditions (78? A 88-F and helped feed almost) Silkworms can go from egg to 1 inch long and about 12 days, 3 inches less than 30 days. Markene begin to turn into cocoons 28 to 30 days or when they are between 2 1 / 2 and 3 inches long. From Cocoon
Moth
silkworms butterflies emerge from their cocoon after spending about two to three weeks metamorphosing. Like moths do not eat or aircraft. The stock market in general, spawn and die in a week. The fertile eggs turn yellow to gray or purple in about a week. If no eggs hatch within 3 weeks, usually do not hatch until the following year (see above from egg to caterpillar).
correct procedure treatment
Once again, so that the worms to stay healthy for several weeks, you'll need to keep the silkworms as dry as possible. If condensation accumulates during feeding, ventilation cover the container to avoid excess moisture. Be sure to wash their hands thoroughly before handling food or worms. Silkworms May be susceptible to bacteria if not handled properly. While keeping the environment will remain dry, the worms will be fine. The mold develops from high temperatures and high humidity. If the fields are covered with feces, silk and old food for a long time, mold can develop and kill the worms. If mold does not develop, grate about 1 / 4 inch of food (sold separately) around Worms cheese grater. As exploration up the pile of new food products can be transferred to file for food with mold and place them in a new container. Silkworms are likely to bruises and die if not handled carefully, especially when they grow up. When handling and transfer of worms, May be very mild. https: / / www.silkwormshop.com / shop.html purchase Silkworms Mark Sprang own http://www.silkwormshop.com http://www.silkwormshop.com and http://www. buyfruitflies.com http://www.buyfruitflies.com
