The same three worms as yesterday. You can barely see the one on the bottom right now, their cocoon has taken shape nicely. Inside they are still spinning, weaving their head in a figure eight, laying down a continuous strand of silk. Other than the scaffolding or "floss", once a worm begins to spin, they do not stop - the strand will be a mile long when they finally rest.
Of the 45, today about 17 are spinning. Thanks to Jennifer for suggesting I raid Elliot's craft paper supply for tube materials, I'm busy making little cubbies.
