Titre tel que soumis EN : Silkworm, or bombyx mori, belongs to the family Bombycidae, order Lepidoptera. Its life cycle consists of four stages: egg, larva, chrysalis (pupa) and imago (moth), and mulberry leaf is its main food. Matured silkworms spin cocoons around themselves, and the filaments are raw material for silk.
