silk worm help

[illuminis]

I ordered some silk worms. they were shipped from FL on Monday and I received them today in MA.
The problem I have is I know it was said they may need to warm up but does this look normal?

Of that pile, one started to sort of move since the picture was taken(about 1.5 hrs ago)

It's hard to see in the photo. If they aren't moving and if they are squishy/collapse when you touch them then they are dead.

I was told to let them warm up @78 until morning and see what happens. just seems like the usps threw the package around. I don't think it's 100% where I ordered because they have a extremely good reputation here and other forums I belong to. The horn worms are all fat and lively but the silks kinda got balled up in the food.

I'll still order from this place. maybe eggs and food separate if they do that.

Silkworms will be very still if there is no food and / or they are too cold and / or they are shedding.

Have they started moving yet once rewarmed ?

.... if aren't showing signs of starting to move by now and quite limp, they are dead.
