Worm Cocoons/Eggs
These worm cocoons (or eggs) were taken from a worm raising box. Notice the yellow cocoons, some of them almost resemble lemons. They have been laid on cardboard, you can also notice seedlings springing up in the worm bin.
Cocoons
- Compost worm eggs are actually cocoons or egg cases that contain roughly 5 to 12 actual eggs.
- When egg cocoons are first laid they're a pale yellow color. As the eggs mature they change to a darker color.
- The size of the cocoons are a little smaller than a grain of rice.
(This cocoon is on the end of a plastic teaspoon)
