The provided flowchart delineates the various stages involved in the biological life cycle of the silkworm.
Overall, it is clear that the process is a natural life cycle that consists of four distinct phases: egg, larva, cocoon and moth. The full cycle takes more than two months to complete.
The life cycle of the silk worm begins at the egg stage. After mating, the female silkworm lays eggs on the mulberry leaves. It takes almost ten days for the eggs to hatch. Once they hatch, the silkworm larva emerges in the next stage. By eating mulberry leaves, the silkworm larva grows significantly.
After 4 to 6 weeks, the larva produces the silk thread to creat cocoons. Following that, the larva spends between 3 and 8 days wrapping itself in the silk threads to form cocoon. They spend inside the cocoon for roughly 16 days before emerging as a moth. This moth lays eggs, which led to restart the cycle.
