Silkworms?

Clapton is acting off today. We are out of silkworms, so I just gave him greens today. But I just checked the worm container and there are two white, oval-shaped balls in there? What are they? Is it an egg or some sort? Is it edible for him?

Can you show a picture, maybe with a ruler for the scale?
If the white, oval-shaped balls are rather large (approx. the volume of a silkworm), silkworms have pupated. This is where the silk comes from :) (The actual pupa is inside, and this is a cocoon made from the silkworm's fine silk he spins around in this process.)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
