Silkworms are reared for production of silk. (Mulberry silk ) is the most commonly used variety for this purpose. Thousands of eggs deposited by female moths are incubated artificially to shorten the ( Incubation period) Larvae hatching out of eggs are released on (Mulberry leaves) Larvae are nourished by feeding on leaves of this plant. After feeding for some days, larvae move to branches of this plant. The silk thread is formed from the secretion of their (silk glands)Larvae spin this thread around themselves to form (cocoon). It may be spherical in shape. 10 days before the pupa turns into an adult, all of them are transferred into boiling water. Due to the boiling water, pupa dies and silk fibres become loose.
