Hatching time:

After about a week, the eggs hatch out into larvae covered with black hairs, which look a lot like ants, and are therefore called antworms.

Color:

The eggs grow very small, and the newborn eggs are yellowish and slightly oval.

The silkworms shed their skins every seven days, shedding their skins once called the second age; shedding their skins twice called the third age, shedding their skins three times called the fourth age, shedding their skins four times called the fifth age, and thereafter forming a chrysalis. The first and second age silkworms are called baby silkworms, and the silkworms after the third age are called strong silkworms.

Other Periods of the Silkworm:

One, spitting period: after four times of peeling, after becoming a five-year-old silkworm, the silkworm's body color will change to yellow and transparent, skin taut, do not like to eat mulberry leaves, which means that it is ready to cocoon spitting. When the silkworm spits out silk, it will first fix the position of the cocoon, and then encircle itself in a figure of eight shape to spit out the silk cocoon.

Second, the feathering period: spitting cocoon, the silkworm in the cocoon skin into a chrysalis, after about 10-15 days, the chrysalis will be molted chrysalis shell feathering into moths.

Three, mating and egg-laying period: the silkworm grows into an adult ~ the purpose of the silkworm e is to reproduce the next generation. Female moths have yellow perfume sacs at the end of their tails, which protrude from the body when swollen, emitting an odor that lures male moths to drum their wings in search of a mate. After mating, the male moths die soon afterward, and the female moths go on to the next generation's task of laying eggs.

The female moth lays eggs without resting, and can lay up to 500 eggs in a day or two, dying soon afterward.
