Here's a short summary of how silkworms make silk cocoons
1. Egg to Larva: Silkworms hatch from eggs and feed on mulberry leaves.
2. Growth: They grow through 4-5 molts (instars).
3. Spinning: When fully grown, the silkworm secretes a protein (fibroin) through its salivary glands.
4. Cocoon Formation: It spins this protein into a continuous thread around itself, forming a silk cocoon.
5. Pupa Stage: The worm becomes a pupa inside the cocoon.
