This is the mulberry silkworm.
We raise a flock of silkworms once a year.
We do not sell eggs or silk.
We use the silk in soap products.
This video is education for showing the silkworm life cycle.
Silk eggs hatch
Caterpillars eat and grow
Caterpillars spin cocoons
Silkworm Moth emerges

，beautiful small nature

[@danaparzych7414]

If no one has said it yet...YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I love this and got a sick feeling regarding the boiling of the worms!! How awful and wasteful. It's so frustrating as an old school farmers granddaughter it's sad to see how the mindset regarding ecology and pumping nature for all that is "valuable" but returning nothing back makes no sense. I know you are "hobbying" but thank you for showing this...it's so interesting and inspiring!

[@alexmo930]

Yeah,I don't really like the boiling part.

[@AIIMSNagpur.]

Reallyy, it hurts

[@studybot295]

Yes Good Earth Spa is amazing

[@tonkinthehanoian1843]

We're already one with the nature and if it turns out bad we're the one who suffers. Earth might dries up but eventually life begins again somewhere. We're take what's enough for ourselves not prioritises other species to get a room but for the next generations to experience the similiar wealth and beauty that we've enjoyed.

Where is the rest?

[@siregg9]

i want a pet silkworm

[@jenniferahough4983]

Fantastic to see! Sad that that is their life though. hatch, grow, breed then die. Mother Nature confuses me sometimes :-(

[@GoodEarthSpa]

+Jennifer A Shepherd They have a life span of several months in which they are born, eat, grow, mate and die but they are fulfilled. Some who raise silkworms will boil them in their cocoons to kill them. I do not participate in this practice. I allow all to hatch and mate to complete their full life cycle. They are very friendly domesticated insects.

[@jenniferahough4983]

I agree with you. Don't shorten what little life they have. I actually think the moths look cute, but I'm weird that way. Used to have 'pet' caterpillars when I was little. I raised them to moths/butterflies then let them fly away :-) You're silk soap is truelly all handmade.

egg - ant - first moulth - second moulth - thirth moulth - fourth moulth - fifth moulth - silkworm - start cocooning - pupa - moth

[@maryannmorillapaloma1588]

So the pupa is a meme ball

[@fennythefish.3430]

I liget needed this for my homework thank u!!!!!

[@studybot295]

[@RoseOriginals]

Thank you for sharing this video! How cool that you grow your own silkworms! If you ever decide to sell the silk let me know.

[@firespirit383]

The silk is gone in order to harvest it they have to kill the silkworm during pupa stage

[@azravael06]

Im from the silk farm video

[@kishanshukla6406]

thank you. very helpful proved for me.

[@srushtikadam1215]

Awesome

[@franzjosephaque2066]

Silk is made when a moth gets out on the cocoon.

[@midsouth684]

My son and I enjoyed watching this. We were fortunate this past fall to have 3 monarchs choose our garden to live out part of their life cycle.

[@sajeemaansari6058]

It is used to make tread

[@svmukund]

💯💯😆😆

[@AnoushBotanical]

Interesting ~ Are you farming them yourself?

[@GoodEarthSpa]

+AnoushBotanical I raise a modest flock of silkworms once a year. I only use the silk for soap. I don't sell the worms or eggs or silk so I would call it more of a hobby rather than a farm.

[@omprakashmeena5974]

Very nice

[@shantimayimataji1073]

😍😍

[@felipegonzalezlelong7944]

What happens to the cocoon after the cicle? Why can't people use it after the worm has gotten out?

[@GoodEarthSpa]

Felipe Gonzalez Lelong I do use them after the life cycle but I use them in soap. For making fabric, it requires an in tact cocoon. The cocoon is made from one long continuous strand which is then unraveled and combined with other strands to make a 4 or 5 ply thread. Those threads are woven to make a fine silk fabric. However, one could also use the fibers from cocoons after they emerge to make a thicker yarn type thread for sweaters or scarves or things like that.

[@felipegonzalezlelong7944]

Good Earth Spa thank you!

[@yehlenbumagat2530]

When i was a kid i used to play this cocoon ...i pressed d edge of it to let that worm come out😆

[@studybot295]
