1500匹

昨日、半日かかって、カイコたちを全部数えて、50匹ずつ別の箱に入れました。現在は１５００匹ぐらいいます。

その中に、皮を抜く最中カイコが多くて、何匹かを出して観察しようとしたが、なんと、出したカイコは全部死にそうです。写真を見ると、皮を完全に抜けあくて死んだやつが見られる。かわいいそう。

隣のおばちゃんは今日カイコの進み具合を見に来たので、いろいろ市と門をして、昔のカイコの飼い方についていろいろ教えてもらった。








I spent half of yesterday counting out all the silkworms, placing 50 in each box to make it easy to feed. I have somewhere around 1,500 silkworms now. As I counted them out, I found several that were in the process of shedding their skin. Unfortunatly, some of them couldn't escape their old skin, and ended up dying. Now I have 1,498.

This morning the neighbor lady stopped by to check on how the silkworms are growing. We took the opportunity to ask lots of questions about how to grow them and how they did it in "the old days". A great morning it was.
