Life cycle of a silk worm

Life cycle of a silk worm NMY92

This diagram illustrates the life cycle of silkworms and the production of silk cloth. Generally, the complete transformation of a silkworm egg to a full-grown moth takes approximately 59 days. However, the cocoon is used to produce silk, which takes 48 days to form. First, the eggs laid by the silkworm moth take ten days to hatch. Once the larva hatches and feasts on, the Mulberry leaves for 4 to 6 weeks, and then it begins to cover itself with the silk thread, and this takes up to 3 to 8 days to completely embed itself. Eventually, in a span of 16 days the moth blossoms from the cocoon. Keeping the above process in mind, we start the production of silk from the cocoon shed by the moth. The shells are selected and then boiled in the water, followed by unwinding the thread up to 300 to 600 meters. The twisted string is dyed and woven. Finally, the coloured, interlaced string is dyed once again.
