Pecan Silks

[ChiefRedman]

I have always seen silkworms in a variety of trees around where I grew up?

My question being are these silkworms okay to feed? Or should I just grab them out of the tree and try to breed them? or could I gutload them and "cleanse" them like you would crickets and other feeders? Thanks!

after further research I have decided that these are web worms, disregard lol

Web worms are definitely a no go. They are covered in nasty hairs.
