Is this the proper way to hatch silkworms?

[ken2414]

okay, so I purchased 500 silkworms eggs from Mulberry Farm and am in the process of hatching them. My question is do i have the proper setup to hatch the eggs?

They are in the petri dish they came in, inside a box sealed with some air holes. In the box i put a wet sponge for humidity. The box is in a room that is between 78-88 degress F (the garage).

Any suggestions would be great to improve the setup for the eggs.

Howdy Ken,

Here's some more info from Chris Anderson's site: http://www.chameleonnews.com/index.php?page=article&id=56

All I do is leave the eggs on a piece of paper towel, in a simple container in a warm room, and wait.

The Mulberry Farms site has a good FAQ
