Collecting Silkworms​

Members, do you remember collecting Silkworms when you were younger? After school, Aussies back in the day would keep them snug in shoe boxes, scour the neighbourhood for Mulberry leaves to feed them, and eagerly observe as they turn into majestic moths! That was enough to keep you entertained for hours, eh? Share your fond memories with us in the comments!
