How a Silk Worm Lives
Silk worms have a very interesting life, you can almost call it sad. They live for about two months and their whole purpose is to become a moth, lay eggs, and then die. That’s pretty much all they do.
However, they also have the ability to live out some peoples ultimate lifestyle… they can capable of eating and eating and never actually dying of over eating. That’s how their life begins. They are capable of eating constantly and if they are raised in captivity then they is exactly what happens. They are feed 24/7.
In about 30 days, they will spin a cocoon and go into their transformation for about 30 days. After that period they hatch and are in their moth form where they will lay eggs and die about a week later.
However sad their life may be, they do one thing that causes many people to spend a lot of money… the create silk filaments used for silk sheets and other silk luxury products. Silk fabric is actually one of the strongest fabrics made and is stronger than a steel filament the same size.
