Ever since human being invented clothes, a variety of fibres have been discovered or invented to suit changes in time climate and fashion. Silk is one out of many fabrics that have been invoked over millennia despite drastic changes in our taste. Since it was discovered fine strong lustrous silk has been wooing the world.
The cultivation of silk and the craft of silk weaving are even more fascinating we thought it would be interesting to get an insight into the story of a silk thread, let's begin with the backbone of sericulture the silkworm. Commercial silk is obtained by cultivating different species of silkworm the most widely and most commercially used species is Bombyx Mori native to Asia. Silkworm are soft bodied and slow-moving and relatively fast growing insects like other insects silkworm to go through four stages of development egg, Larva, pupa and adult. The larva is a caterpillar, the pupa is what the silkworm changes into after spinning its cocoon before emerging as a month.

pretty fascinating how insects can be domesticated, i had no idea this was possible

@ArtisChronicles 3 года назад

I wouldn't necessarily call it domestication, more along the lines of selective breeding. They managed to cultivate genes that make them unable to fly and thus silk production became much more efficient.

@rahn45 2 года назад

@@ArtisChronicles Considering that they've lost the ability to fly, lost the fear of humans(and predators in general), and need human intervention to even reproduce; it's pretty safe to say that they're domesticated.

@ytCrystal Год назад

Just like the butterfly, if it doesn’t struggle to escape the cocoon, it’s wings aren’t strengthened and it cannot fly. I wonder who first thought, “let me strip this casing off a worm and make thread.”

@twilightanndanaez 5 лет назад

Just so people know, the silk worm is so domesticated that after it hatches from the cocoon, it doesnt have a mouth so it cant feed itself and their wings are incapable of flying. They die about 3 days after mating and laying eggs

@douglasbubbletrousers4763 2 года назад

Uh, are you sure about that? Because that’s not at all uncommon amongst similar insects without human dependence. (Not feeding, that is)

@calliarcale 2 года назад

Domestication is responsible for their fearless nature and sedentary disposition, but in fact a lot of moths and other insects do not eat as adults. (Some species do eat as adults, so it's not a universal rule.) For instance, the insect with the biggest wingspan, the atlas moth, is entirely wild yet has no mouth and lives only from a few days after emerging from the cocoon. They have to do all of their eating as caterpillars; as adults, they exist only to breed. This is also true of many other insects, such as mayflies.

in biology we are learning about carbon molecules and my textbook said "One polymer you may have heard of before is silk. Silk fibers, made by spiders and some worms, are very strong and durable. Now, researchers are trying to produce even stronger silk by feeding silkworms carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes. Scientists are hoping to use the enhanced silk for medical implants and wearable electronics. With a partner, research carbon-enhanced silk, and discuss the ways this material might influence human society." so i was really curious to see the process behind this and i never knew silk came from cute worms until now lol

@lilaclizard4504 4 года назад

technically caterpillars not worms, but still very cute :) You should buy some & have a go yourself, easy to do, lots of fun & hands on cuteness :) & I didn't know about the carbon nanotubes, knew silk was used a lot in medicine, but not about that, so thanks for the info :))

@@YourLocalArtist_X0X insects don’t feel pain. And silkworms have been farmed for thousands of years in Asia. Not something Westerners would understand for sure. Don’t like it don’t use it. Silk is traditional fiber used to make Kimono in Japan as well as other clothing in other countries in Asia. That’s why we produced them historically. Westerners view other cultures not part of theirs and come and tell us oh poor silkworm. Give me a break. Not your right to tell other cultures how we do things just because it’s not part of your culture.

yeah, i would imagine they bread them not to fly since back in the last few thousand years or however long they've been doing it, it would have been hard to prevent the moths from escaping, plus it would make it a lot easier to find the baby worms once out of the egg since the mum wouldn't have gone far to lay the eggs.

@mercilesscorvid2270 6 лет назад

Scientifically speaking: after the silkworm makes cocoon it's body liquifies then reforms into a moth. So if it's brain and nerves have liquified or are not able to function during that transition then how do they feel pain? The answer is they don't.

@SheepeyDarkness 6 лет назад

They don't but they're still killed. Interesting fact though. Never knew this.

@mercilesscorvid2270 6 лет назад

Also in Korea they will eat Beondegi which literally means silkworm pupae. So at the very least in some countries the pupae don't go to waste.
