Mulberry snacker's life cycle

Описание: Rows of pale green mulberry leaves — freshly chopped and piled high — become the only diet of these silk-producing worms. Hatched from pin-sized eggs, they grow quickly, shedding skin and eating nonstop until each spins a thick cocoon of silk. Some are kept to restart the cycle, while others are sun-dried, preserving the silk within.
