Ah well then that's good to hear. I think I got lucky with the hornworms and I tried certain things that just worked out very well. I had about 20 casualties due to terrible information I found on the net. There was some sites that said put them in a container with balled up newspaper and empty paper towel rolls when they are in the wandering stage, so they pupate. Well, I did it and it was just awful. They all turned black and died, save a few. I got the healthy pupae from putting wanderers in a sterlite shoebox with misted spagnum moss and toilet paper rolls.

These silkworms do seem significantly easier aside from their fragility. I'm going to try them eventually, it just might be hard to keep them warm during these cold months.
