Why did my silkworm turn yellow? What happened?

Improper diet: In the process of rearing silkworms, food selection is very important. If the food choice is not good, it will easily lead to death. If the silkworm body suddenly turns yellow, generally speaking, it may be that the owner has given the silkworm something bad, especially mulberry leaves. If there is water on it or some mulberry leaves are sprayed with pesticides, then the baby silkworm will behave like this after eating it, and even the situation is more serious, and it will be found that the baby silkworm's body is getting smaller and smaller.

Mature performance: If the baby silkworm has reached the age of five, and its body is yellow and looks round and transparent, then this situation is the performance that the baby silkworm is about to cocoon, that is to say, the baby silkworm has eaten and drunk enough at this time, so it is fully mature, so the next step is to prepare for cocoon formation. Just put the baby silkworm in some branches and other places, and it can cocoon.

Matters needing attention in sericulture

It should be noted that mulberry leaves can be kept fresh in the refrigerator, and the temperature is about 5℃ to prevent deterioration. However, the mulberry leaves taken out of the refrigerator need to be returned to normal temperature before feeding, or they can be packed in plastic and tied tightly to slow down the drying and dehydration time of mulberry leaves.

It is necessary to pay attention to cleaning the silkworm house every day. Usually, the silkworm house should be placed in a cool place, and the temperature is about 25℃. Try not to catch silkworms by hand, but with a soft brush.
