Three Silkworm Moths Have Emerged!
The silkworm moths - Bombyx mori - have emerged from their cocoons! First graders have been waiting patiently for the moths to arrive! Finally after about two weeks, three have hatched!
The domesticated moth only lives for 7 to 10 days. They no longer are able to fly - their bodies are too heavy for their wing span and they don't eat. Their sole job is to mate and lay eggs.
