Live Silk Cocoons

Each cocoon offers a fascinating opportunity to observe the final stage of the silkworm’s life cycle, as the caterpillar spins its protective silk casing and prepares to transform into a moth. A wonderful addition to educational projects, science experiments and silkworm rearing, live cocoons provide a hands-on way to explore the natural process of silk production. Perfect for schools, educators, hobbyists and anyone fascinated by the world of silkworms, these cocoons offer a closer look at one of nature’s most remarkable materials. Cocoon colours and silkworm breed are picked at random / according to stock levels. *Note: All live cocoons are only posted on Monday or Tuesday of each week via express post.
