Explain the detailed life cycle of the silk moth.
The life cycle of moth can be explained in the following stages-
The female silk moth lays eggs. The larvae are also known as a caterpillar or silkworm hatch out from the egg and grow in size.
As soon as the caterpillar gets ready to develop into a pupa, it first weaves a net to hold itself and swings its head from side to side in the form of the figure of eight (8).
During these movements, the caterpillar secretes fibre made of a protein that hardens on exposure to air and becomes silk fibre.
The caterpillar soon covers itself completely by a covering of silk fibres known as a cocoon.
The further development of the moth continues inside the cocoon.
Silk fibres are used for weaving silk cloth.
