Success in rearing Bombyx mori begins with a simple plan. Without regard to the size or purpose of a rearing project, start with a written plan. Develop the project objectives, then expand the project design with details that will accomplish the goals.

A significant aspect of rearing any organism is to consider the living material that requires attention. Within your general plan, include such specifics as a start date, a plan for leaf harvest, feeding responsibilities, schedules, etc. Finally, set up a log or journal to record data that may be useful for future rearing projects.
