Animal Facts:
Domestic Silk Moth: Nature's Silk Weaver
The domestic silk moth (Bombyx mori) is a fascinating moth species renowned for its role in silk production. Domesticated over 5,000 years ago in China, this species depends entirely on humans for survival, as it can no longer fly or live in the wild.
Its larvae, known as silkworms, feed on mulberry leaves and spin cocoons made of silk threads up to 900 meters long! The moth's lifecycle is tightly woven into the practice of sericulture, which produces millions of kilograms of raw silk annually.
Fun fact: The silkworm's domestication has made it leucistic (lacking natural pigmentation), and its cocoon-spinning process has inspired advancements in biotechnology, including silk-based medical implants and even space food research!

Oatis has arrived!! (So called because he looks like a small pile of oats - very flattering, I know).
He has so far:
- accompanied me to the museum to view other - pinned - moths (he assures me he enjoyed it);
- scared various guests less fond of moths than myself;
- and is today visiting a garden.
He seems content - though I'm not sure if there's a single though behind those huge vacant eyes.
Thank you very much for sending this fluffy bug to join me !

Oatis sounds like he’s settling into public life beautifully 😄
Museum visits, mild social disruption, garden outings — exactly the sort of schedule we’d hope for from a fluffy moth with absolutely no thoughts behind those glorious eyes.❤️
It's even cuter than I imagined! The fur on its back feels amazing to touch, and the colors are so soft, almost like toasted bread. The fabric on the eyes really gives the appearance of compound eyes, and the mouthparts look like tiny sharp fangs. The chest is filled with sand, making it incredibly satisfying to squeeze. I'm so happy with it!
So cute! The details are amazing, with no loose threads at all. It's not really the best for hugging though, since it has so many legs and they kind of poke you, haha
