write the short note on how silk fibres produce
Answers
Hey mate
Here is your answer
Silk is an animal protein fiber produced by certain insects to build their cocoons and webs.
Many different types of silk are produced by a huge variety of different types of insects other than moth caterpillars. Yet none of these have been exploited for commercial purposes, though there has been basic research into the structures of such silks. Silk is most commonly produced by larvae, and thus largely limited to insects with complete metamorphosis.
In some instances, however, it is produced by adult insects such as webspinners. Silk production is especially common in the Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants), and is sometimes used in nest construction. Other types of arthropod produce silk, most notably various arachnids such as spiders. The silk produced by other insects, mainly spiders, is used in a small number of other commercial applications, for example weapons, telescopes, and other optical instruments.
The commercial process of silk making is highly complex and labor intensive. The following will provide basic information on how silk is made.

Answer:
The caterpillar or silkworm spins the cocoon inside which develops the silk mouth. The cocoons are kept under the sun or boiled or exposed to steam. The silk fibres separate out from the cocoon using special machines. This process is called reeling the silk.
