Baby silkworms, also known as silkworms, silkworms, are completely abnormal insects, feeding on mulberry leaves, and go through four completely different morphological and physiological stages of development, such as eggs, larvae, pupae and adults. Let's take a look at the picture of the growth process of the baby silkworm.

Baby silkworms reproduce with eggs, which look like fine sesame seeds, about 1 mm wide and 0.5 mm thick. When the temperature rises, the eggs begin to develop. After 7-15 days, when the eggs become transparent and can see the outline inside, it means that the baby silkworm is coming out! (photo: silkworm baby's egg)

The baby silkworm that has just hatched from the egg is as black as an ant. We call it "ant silkworm". It is covered with fine hair, but the hair is not obvious after a few days. The silkworm ant has an appetite about 40 minutes after it comes out of its shell, and the feeding process is about to begin. (photo: baby silkworms hatch)

The baby silkworm lives on mulberry leaves, and her body turns white after eating mulberry leaves constantly, and after a period of time she begins to peel. Silkworms do not eat when they sleep. On the surface, they sleep. In fact, they take off their old skins and put on new ones to continue to grow. Baby silkworms have to molt 4 times in the whole feeding process, and each time they don't eat. Try not to interfere with it or throw it away when it's sick. Each sleeping period of silkworms lasts about one day. (photo: the baby silkworm has grown up.)

After a peeling, the second instar larva, even if she peeled once increased by one year, she had to peel four times and became the fifth instar larva before she began to spin cocoons. (photo: silkworm baby spinning)

It usually begins to form cocoons in about 25 days. When the baby silkworm has a bright back and yellow hair, it means it is going to spin cocoons. At this time, it is necessary to provide a cross space for baby silkworms to form cocoons. It takes two days to form a complete cocoon and molt for the last time in the cocoon and become a pupa.

About ten days later, it feathered into a silkworm moth and broke its cocoon. After coming out of the cocoon, the female moth emits a smell from the tail to tempt the male to mate. After mating, the male dies. The female moth can lay about 500 eggs in a night, and then slowly die. (photo: the baby silkworm comes out of the cocoon)
