Varieties of Silkworm
Mulberry Silkworm
Also known as the domestic silkworm, one of the economic insects that spits out silk cocoons with mulberry leaves as food. It belongs to Lepidoptera, Silkworm Moth family, scientific name Bombyx mori Linaeus. mulberry silkworm originated in China, its development temperature is 7-40 ℃, feeding temperature for 20-30 ℃, mainly distributed in temperate, subtropical and tropical areas.
The mulberry silkworm is an oligophagous insect, in addition to eating mulberry leaves, but also can eat Tsuge leaves, kozo leaves, elm leaves, duck onions, thin Gongying and lettuce leaves, mulberry leaves is the most suitable natural food for silkworms. Silkworm is a completely metamorphic insect, life through the egg, larva, pupa, adult four morphology and physiological functions of completely different development stages. One of the larval stage in the appropriate temperature conditions, from hatching to spitting cocoon needs 22-26d, a silkworm life about eating mulberry leaves 20-25g, generally by four sleep and molt, to the growth of extreme, the weight of about 10,000 times. The last age of eating mulberry leaves accounted for more than 85% of the total amount of mulberry leaves. Mulberry cocoons can be reeling, silk is an excellent textile fiber, is the raw material of silk. The pupa of the silkworm can be eaten, silkworm moths and silkworm feces are comprehensive utilization, is the raw material of a variety of chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Quercus serrata
Feeding on the leaves of Quercus serrata, it is an insect that spits out silk cocoons. It belongs to Lepidoptera, family of large silkworm moths, scientific name Antherea pernyi Guerin-Meneville. native to China, the development temperature is 8 - 30 ℃, the development of the appropriate temperature for 11-25 ℃, the most suitable temperature for 22-24 ℃. It is mainly distributed in China. In North Korea, South Korea, Russia, Ukraine, India and Japan and other countries also a small number of distribution.
The serpentine silkworm feeds on the leaves of Quercus serrata, Quercus mongolica, Quercus serrata and other plants of the family Crustacea, and also feeds on the leaves of Artemisia, Corydalis, chestnuts, maples, pears, apples, etc. The serpentine silkworm is a completely metamorphic insect, with a temperature of 11-25℃. Quercus serrata is a completely metamorphosed insect, which undergoes four developmental stages with completely different morphology and physiological functions in its life: egg, larva, pupa and adult. It sleeps and molts four times. Each molt 1 time, incremental 1 age. A silkworm from hatching to the age of 5 mature cocoon needs about 50d, spring silkworms eat leaves for a lifetime about 30-35g, autumn silkworms eat leaves 50-58g. which the big silkworms eat leaves accounted for more than 80% of the total amount of leaf eating. The weight of spring silkworms is 14g, and that of fall silkworms is about 21g. The weight of spring silkworms is 14g, and that of fall silkworms is 21g. When the growth is extreme, the weight of sericulture increases by about 2000-3000 times compared with that of ant silkworms respectively. Cocoons of sericea can be reeled, sericea silk is the raw material of sericea silk, sericea pupa is edible, and moths are the raw material of chemical industry, medicine and food industry. The eggs are a good intermediate host for the red-eyed wasp for biological control.

Silkworm #cán
Interpretation of insects. The larva matures and spits out silk to make a cocoon, in which it turns into a pupa, and the pupa turns into a silkworm moth. There are many kinds of silkworms such as the domestic silkworm, the serpentine silkworm, the castor silkworm and so on. Silk is the raw material for weaving silk. China is the world's first country to raise silkworms.
Sericulture #cánshí The silkworm eats mulberry leaves one bite at a time. Metaphor for gradual encroachment: Silkworm Policy | Silkworms Eating Neighboring Countries.
