(205,469 posts)Watched them build cocoons and took great pride and interest when they emerged as butterflies (or more likely moths), dry their wings and fly away. We even gave them names.

(51,609 posts)My sister raises them as a hobby. I raised 12 generations of silkworms when I was a teacher. They eat tons of Mulberry leaves. You can put some their zillion eggs in the fridge and it keeps them in a hibernation state until the following year and new Mulberry leaves are available.
