I guess this is part of the cleanup and polish after the “company” was finally put under the microscope.

Or the company no longer needs a mulberry farm because their new production inputs are from a different plant.

If the company has created a silkworm with all the bells and whistles (ie, near pure spider silk, improved immunity, non-mulberry diet), then there is no need to have a farm in the tropical/sub-tropical area of southern Texas.

The company first applied for their provisional patent regarding the non-mulberry eating silkworm in May 2019. So they've likely had this silkworm for closer to 3 years (allowing time for testing and then writing the provisional patents before filing). Plenty of time to combine genes into a single silkworm with all the target genes necessary to make US production feasible.

I believe the cancelling of the Texas lease is indicative of this new silkworm being the company's main silkworm, and that the silkworm is producing just fine.

This could change the entire sericulture industry. It would open up the industry to areas outside of tropical/sub-tropical regions.

The Michigan facility could still keep colonies of mulberry silkworms and feed them pre-made chow without effecting their genetics.
