The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silkmoth, Bombyx mori (Latin: "silkworm of the mulberry tree").
It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk.
A silkworm's preferred food is white mulberry leaves.
It is entirely dependent on humans for its reproduction and does not occur naturally in the wild.
It is incredible to see how fast and how much they eat in one day!
