“So how much is 11 million worms in metric tons again??”

Metric tons of what? According to my references you would get about 16.5 metric tons of cocoons and about 2 metric tons of actual silk.

References used:

1 dfl=500 eggs
100 dfl = 70-80 kg cocoons
7-10 kg cocoons/kg silk

Prodigy is shipping eggs not worms. Refrigerated eggs can be stored for several months. If Prodigy is keeping back 15% of each generation for breeding and assuming 300 egg average per mating the next generation will be 22.5 times larger. If you started out with 1 pair of moths it would only take 5 generations to get to a metric ton of actual silk at that rate. I’m pretty sure they didn’t just ship 2 moths over to Vietnam to start their breeding program. Don’t know what the obsession is with how many worms they might currently have. They obviously aren’t what’s holding production up and never will be.
