Where does silk come from

A flowing, light, delicate fabric would not have appeared if there were no silkworm and its forage - the leaves of mulberry.

During a short life the insect passes through several stages of transformation. It grows by leaps and bounds, hatching from tiny eggs and rapidly gaining weight.

Mulberry leaves silkworms chews non-stop, resting from the main occupation only during the skinning off period, when it becomes cramped.

Moult occurs 4 times. Having reached a solid size, the larva prepares for pupation.

D To do this she needs to build a house on the branches of mulberry.

For construction uses a silk thread, produced by the gland located under the lower lip of an insect.

Twisting his head in different directions, the larva sweeps a brilliant cocoon of silk thread with a hollow space inside, where she then climbs and peacefully falls asleep.

To make a house for herself, she has to release from 800 to 3 km.silk thread. The butterfly hatching from the cocoon, after laying eggs, perishes in 10-20 days.

Part of the doll houses is used to make raw materials for the future silk cloth. The remaining insects will lay eggs, from which new-born silkworms will appear.

And the cycle will repeat. If there were no mulberry, the caterpillars had nothing to eat.

Although gardeners complain that the silkworm harms apple and other bushes in their areas, a cocoon consisting of a long silk thread is obtained when the insects eat exactly the leaves of mulberry.
