Last update: Saturday 22nd of November 2008 Silkworm
The silkworm (Bombyx mori, Latin: "silkworm of the mulberry tree") is the larva or caterpillar of a moth in the family Bombycidae, that is very important economically as the producer of silk. It is entirely dependent on humans for its reproduction and no longer occurs in the wild; silk culture has been practised for at least 5,000 years in China (Goldsmith et al., 2004). A silkworm's diet consists solely of mulberry leaves. It is native to northern China. Its nearest wild relative is Bombyx mandarina with which it is able to hybridize (Goldsmith et al., 2004), and which ranges from northern India to northern China, Korea and Japan.

Silkworm in the news
A river basin nurtured the early Chinese. Between 3000 and 1600 BC, the Huang He (Yellow River) plain sustained large communities of farmers who raised silkworms and spun silk thread and cloth, which they sent across the camel trails of Central Asia. The story of a married silkworm merchant-turned-smuggler in 19th century France traveling to Japan for his town's supply of silkworms after a disease wipes out their African supply. During his stay in Japan, he becomes obsessed with the concubine of a local baron. If you want to spin silk like a spider then you need to rethink your starting material, Oxford University scientists have discovered. The researchers have developed a new way of assessing the potential of the raw material – silk ‘dope’ – for producing fibres with the amazing properties of natural silks spun by spiders and silkworms.
