Life cycle of silk worm

Silk is the secretions of the silk moth. Silk is

obtained from the cocoon of silk worms, which

feed on the mulberry leaves. Silk worms live

for a very short time, only about two months.

During this period they pass through four stages

of development. They are eggs, caterpillars,

cocoon and adult moth. These stages are called

as life cycle of a silk worm.
