A silk worm is a worm in hindi (keeda). But the wierd thing is the story does not end. A silk moth lives his whole life but it's death is followed by a commercial human purpose.

• A female silk moth lays an egg in 10-15 days .
• A lava devalops in mulberry leaves , it feeds on it.
• Life time it spins saliva around its body.
• At a time comes when the oraganism inside dies and what is left is just cocoon.

Then starts the process of silk processing :

1. In silk processing plants the silk worms are raised.
2. Thread is dipped in big tanks of water.
3. The cocoon is untied.
4. Later dying is done with desired color.
