  1. I had that in my school we bring it home I was so scared lol in Japanese we call it Kaiko 蚕 silkworm it’s so cool I feed it leaves mulberry leaves. When it fully grown it will turn to a butterfly looking idk how to call it. Eventually my silkworm died all of them I had 4 but they all died RIP Kaido,Kairo,kaito and Kaiyo fly to heaven my silkworm 🕊️

  2. For a moment I thought he was literally going to shoot the cocoon with a miniature artillery then I realized it was a lens attachment for the camera

  3. A silk worms life is very depressing but anyway it’s really interesting how we use it for dresses the process is amazing and the ending result is fabulous

  4. Verydisappointing.
    Spinning a cocoon implies action, us getting to see this happening in macro would of been fascinatingly beautiful.
    You missed a great opportunity to share something unique with your views.

  5. Your equipment is amazing
    & so is your work & studies.
    I hope to see you on a program someday possibly even your own!👍🏼
    Like David Attenborough🤞🏼

    GOOD LUCK🍀👍🏼🖖🏼
