That could apply to s as well!They definitely grow at different rates and think that´s due amount of food that´s available. If you put food directly next to them or put them on the food they stay there, keep eating and eventually growing.
Yeah sometimes the males die while still connected to the female. Poor thing, he won't let up even after he is DEAD!!You named your silk moths? That is too cute! Well, silk moths are too cute! But...not so sure Star was trying very hard to get away from Yule. Boom chicka wow wow
OMG, so that IS common? It happened to one of my first generation moths! I did see her tapping him on the abdomen long before she died. He still kept going even though she was dead! I tried to separate them, but I'm not experienced in doing so, thus I had to let him finish....half a day or so later!Yeah sometimes the males die while still connected to the female.

Yeah I am afraid to separate them as there could be gore...OMG, so that IS common? It happened to one of my first generation moths! I did see her tapping him on the abdomen long before she died.

I had another male who was pushing around a dead female, I think he wanted to mate her (too late, but Kojax was not picky I guess).
Understandable. I just couldn't get it to work. We named that male after my brother-in-law.Yeah I am afraid to separate them as there could be gore...
She might have meant something like a small ruler or a penny in the pic. Being married to a quilter for several decades, I've learned that pins are like nails—all shapes & sizes.My mother (82) wanted some size comparison pics..
Yeah, but what a way to go!Yeah sometimes the males die while still connected to the female. Poor thing, he won't let up even after he is DEAD!!
Ha ha That is why you see the big fat thumb in the 1st pic.. I guess, I could be Andre the giant and I am using a crochet needle or what you said.She might have meant something like a small ruler or a penny in the pic.

Bizar to see those fellas to be soo hairy as fresh born. Completely different then their next phase!Nothing to eventful but they seem to enjoy me adding water (drops) to their food. It is continuing to stay moist without drowning any.
I would definitely be okay having a 30lb baby silkworm if it stayed looking the same. I think the moths are a little to fluffy.
3rd picture adding some anthropomorphizing (adding human qualities to animals. "Hey big sister how do I get back into the egg?"
Nah... I've just seen a lot of nature pics done with objects everyone knows for scale.See, I knew you were an expert..
Hey Redhorse, about that head you speak of in the first pic, perhaps it is worth verifying that it's a discarded head and not a baby who sank into the chow. I look at that pic and have a feeling that it could be someone stuck in the chow. I hope I'm wrong. I've read someone who had a baby sink into goopy chow. Please get a toothpick and check.Just a few for the evening--
1st Pic I am very confused as to what is shown. It looks like a head burrowing up (or its just a head shed).
Then there are some new babies without hair, and one that has shed (it is about twice the size).
Pic 2 is size difference after 1 shedding.
Pic 3 I think is a shedding in process.
Pic 4 Straggler/wonderer - Placed back on the food island.
Moving on to share a few pics of the afternoon. Feeding wild lizards on patio and Venus flytrap coming out of hibernation.
Have a great Sunday! I will give ya a break and start back up Monday.
