describe the Life cycle of bombyx Mori. explain how silk is produced by it's cultivation
Answers
The silkworm is holometabolous insects; about 50 days, they complete their life cycle of four different metamorphosing phases; egg, larva, pupa and adult (moth). The larva are naked, have a short anal horn and feed principally on the leaves of mulberry. They become fully grown and spin their cocoon in about six weeks.
The process of silk production is known as sericulture. Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibres to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.
