The stages of production are as follows: Laying eggs that hatch into larvae or caterpillars, known as silkworms. Feeding on mulberry leaves and growing and moulting several times. Extruding a sticky liquid protein, called fibroin, from their salivary glands. Forming a net to hold themselves and swinging from side to side in a figure '8', distributing the fibroin that will form silk. Spinning a cocoon around themselves, where the fibroin hardens into silk. The female silkmoth lays 300 to 500 eggs. The silkmoth eggs hatch to form larvae or caterpillars, known as silkworms. The larvae feed on mulberry leaves. Worms in the production line The process of silk production is known as sericulture. During its 3 to 8 day pupation period, the silkworm secretes fibroin, a sticky liquid protein, from its salivary glands. ...
