Silkworms are harmless. THey're like the caterpillars I used to collect as a kid. . .
but the females can get very large, up to around two inches!

I was so disappointed though, because my guy wouldn't touch them. I am going to wait until Spring then try them again, as his appetite is rather small this time of year.
