Silkworm / Mulberry Silkmoth / Poodle Moth / How to Breed Mulberry Silkworms (Bombyx mori): My PET moths in Mothcycles by Bart Coppens

PLEASE HELP!!!! YouTube does NOT support my channel!! I am permanently demonetised; when people click on my videos, I don't make a single dollar. This channel runs on donations from my viewers for 100% !
The type of content I make is very expensive and time consuming - such as filming the whole life cycles of butterflies and moths in captivity, which takes months of dedication! I am also an independent researcher, conservationalist, moth breeder and hobbyist, and the funds I raise online go towards my videos, my research & breeding projects that promote the importance and our knowledge of insects and other animals - on social media and in reallife! It helps me make videos, and it helps me help the insects I care about!

Consider subscribing to my Patreon for as little as 1$ per month: https://www.patreon.com/BartButterflies - it massively helps! On Patreon, people can buy a subscription. Patrons also get unique rewards, like voting on content, personal FAQ videos, or participating in my videos once in a while.

Send a tip through Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/bartbutterflies - through this platform, users can send small finacial "tips" to support their favorite artists or creators.

Want to donate with VISA or Credit Card? This is possible too, via LiberaPay, a trusted online platform. My LiberaPay is here: https://liberapay.com/BartCoppens/

Did you know that I make custom merchandise such as cards, calendars and more with my moth & butterfly designs? The sales help my channel; find my Etsy shop here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BartCoppensMerch

Did you know that on Amazon.com there is a store where you can find ALL the equipment I use and recommend so that you can copy me? My cameras, my breeding equipment, everything! Find my Amazon storefront here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/bartcoppens

Patrons & People who have donated can expect to see their names in the credits of my videos sometimes, get shoutouts, or participate in events or special FAQ videos - on top of getting my gratitude of course. Your donation helps me research insects, and helps me spread love and knowledge for them world wide!

I allow RANDOM followers to send me RANDOM items to my HOME ADRESS through Amazon Wish List! It's super interactive and fun - you can send me anything from video games, butterfly cages, books, energy drinks, breeding boxes, flower seeds for my butterflies, hot sauce, ramen noodles, silly outfits, memory cards, underwear.. it's crazy and hilarious! It is much more personal than donating money, because YOU decide the item I get!!
** Please Read How it Works Below! **
There are TWO versions of my wish list on Amazon, a Dutch one and an American one. If you order through the Dutch website, the shipping costs are very low, because it is my home country! Sending me gifts through USA Amazon is much more expensive on shipping! However, both websites offer DIFFERENT types of items you can ship to me!
LIST NUMBER 1: (Dutch Amazon) https://www.amazon.nl/hz/wishlist/ls/134L5M5E1YP6H?ref_=wl_share
LIST NUMBER 2: (American Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/21AHE4LYC5SR6?ref_=wl_share
Anything you send me, I will show off on my channel in a video at some point! If you send me books I will read them! They are items I want or need for my channel, but also some silly things viewers can send me to mess with my life!

I have a personal website about breeding moths that I am proud of. It has tips and caresheets for many moth species. Here is the link: https://breedingbutterflies.com/

Love the Bombyx mori moth! I'm currently rearing several hundred silkworms that hatched from eggs laid last year. They are getting big! I look forward to seeing them spin their cocoons!

I hear you my dude. I've been there myself. And like silkmoths, we often do have a bad reputation of living this world.
NEVER LOSE HOPE. you and i might have different beliefs, but we're still human who just enjoy the natural world and pet trade.

@danMdan - 22.11.2023 12:13

Most silkmoths can only mate, they usually have no ability to feed, having no mouthparts or digesrive system, eating is done by the caterpillars before the larval stage. After emergence from their cocoon the adult moth lives using internally stored energy, only to find a mate of the opposite sex. (This is a simplified description of the process)

So one of the ways you can tell if it's a boy or a girl is looking at their antennas.If more looks like bushy and it's more smaller.It's a boy , but if they're in tenors are more thinner , it's a girl and if it's bigger , it's a girl

I keep referring back to this video while my first bunch of silkworms are growing, and unfortunately to disinfect them I cannot use bleach, so I have been using a small amount of 99% alcohol in a squirt bottle filled with water. It doesn’t seem to be harming them as I spray them with just water right after to prevent them drying out. What are other substitutes for disinfecting these guys?
