Insect protein ~ silkworm (2)

The larvae of the silkworm reach the end of the 5th instar, gradually mature, spit silk into a cocoon, and after about 2-3 days of spitting silk, it dissolves into a pupa in the cocoon

The silkworm pupa is spindle-shaped and consists of three parts: head, thorax and abdomen, with well-developed antennae and compound eyes.

After 15-18 days, the silkworm pupae stage feathers into adult worms, adults are also called silkworm moths, and adults feather a few hours later mate and lay eggs, completing a generation.

The growing conditions of silkworms are very exquisite:

Rooms: be large, airy, bright, clean, hygienic

Before and after silkworm farming, the room and equipment must undergo strict sterilization and disinfection, such as vinegar smoking, bleach cleaning, soaking, etc

Breeding must also strictly prevent the harm of mosquitoes, flies, rats, insects, all the silkworms that have been targeted by mosquitoes and flies cannot survive, so the breeding of silkworms is called "aseptic farming"
