Answer:
- Silkworms are tiny worms that spin their own silk cocoons.
- The scientific name for silkworms is Bombyx mori, which means “silkworm of the mulberry tree.”
- They have been raised to produce fabric for thousands of years and can no longer be found in the wild.
- Silkworms begin as wormlike larvae with the three distinct body parts of an insect. After spending time in a cocoon, the silkworm morphs into a scaly, four-winged moth.
- After hatching from eggs, the worms molt four times before spinning their cocoons. The silk fiber comes from the cocoons.
- A silkworm's preferred food are white mulberry leaves, though they may eat other mulberry species and even the osage orange.
