Ward's® Live Silkworm Eggs (Bombyx mori)

When hatched, the small, gray larvae are the traditional source for high-quality silk.

• They can remain refrigerated for up to a year, allowing for easy storage and access
• Eggs will hatch in 10 - 14 days if kept at 75 - 85 °F

Over thousands of years of domestication and selective breeding the modern silkworm has lost its ability to fly. Eggs, each roughly the size of a pinhead, come glued onto a petri dish.
