Answer:

Humans have been making silk for centuries. It's a coveted textile for gowns, sheets, and robes. But why is it so expensive? Silk is the product of the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori. The caterpillars eat constantly. They're fed mulberry leaves five times a day. After 45 days of munching and growing, the worms are ready to mature.

They have a special spinneret that secretes one long continuous filament. That's the silk. The silkworms spin this filament into a cocoon. Then the caterpillar begins its transformation. Except, this is when silk producers get in. The cocoons are steamed. This cleans them and kills the pupa inside. If the pupas were kept alive, they would degrade and break the silk. Then the cocoons are unraveled to reveal around half a mile of usable filament.

Filaments are joined to create a thread thick enough to weave into fabric. One yard of silk fabric costs approximately $100.
