Mulberry silk moth is the most ubiquitous silk moth.

Answer 2

• The domestic silk moth, Bombyx mori, belongs to the Bombycidae moth family.
• Bombyx mandarina, or the wild silk moth, is its closest relative. The silkworm is the silk moth's larvae or caterpillars.
• Because it is the principal producer of silk, it is a valuable bug.
• White mulberry leaves are a silkworm's favourite meal, although they will also consume other mulberry species and even the osage orange.
• As a result of millennia of selective breeding, domestic silk moths are completely reliant on humans for reproduction.
• Other Bombyx species (wild silk moths) are not as commercially useful for silk manufacturing.
