Silkworms! Who didn't raise them as a kid or in their science class? They're tiny little balls of fluff with wings, and so cute. Sadly, the little darlings have no mouth to eat with and die soon after they hatch. Instead of having your heart broken, why not have a plushie instead? You can snuggle it without fear (it is very soft) and if you take care of it, it'll be your friend for life.
