The life of a silkworm passes through four growth periods from eggs to young silkworms, then to pupae, and finally to moths, totaling about one month, with each growth period taking on a completely different form.
The newborn baby silkworms look like ants, black and small, with black hairs all over their bodies, and the hairs come off after two days. Only one mulberry leaf a day is enough to raise four little silkworms; they eat slowly, but they keep on eating.
On the fourth day, the silkworms do not eat and do not move, as if dead, when the silkworms enter the dormant molt stage. It takes about a day for the silkworms to molt, and the skin that comes off is a little yellow and dry, sticking to the box where the silkworms are kept. The baby silkworms that have shed their skins are whiter and have grown a bit, and their food intake has increased a lot, so they need to be fed more mulberry leaves.
