It starts at the table.

So worms will die on the table if not taken out and fed within 8 hours

Actually that is very true, however, Silkworms can survive missing one meal.

Same as with the quality of all bred animals: when they breed. When your cocoons go to hatch, make sure to get the best pairs and sort them into separate containers so that they mate right. After you get enough breeding pairs, it won't matter as much, but early on a point or two here or there can matter in the time it takes to get your quality up.

Am I missing something?

He laid the eggs at 6:30, so they turned into worms at 14:30. When did they miss the meal?

From what I can read, they didn't. The poster above just misread.

Moth breeding is effected by Nature/Industry. Sever hangs and delays can slow the time down, too. They ate when they were supposed to eat and not any sooner or later. Thus your picking them up off the table had nothing to do with the time table.

As a note, you can tell if they missed eating. It lowers their quality by exactly 1.
