The diagrams below show the life cycle of the silkworm and the stages in the production of silk cloth. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The first flow chart illustrates the worm

silk

life circulation. The second one indicates the steps in slik cloth manufacturing. A glance at the illustrations reveals that the worm

silk

life cycle contains four distinct stages. Meanwhile, there are five steps required to make

silk

cloth. In the first place in the worm

silk

life cycle, the process starts with eggs taking place over mulberry leaves, which are the main sources of their food, by a female slik butterfly.

Next,

it takes ten days for larvae to hatch. After a 4-6 week duration, these larvae start covering themselves by threading

silk

shells. In a 3-8 day period, an oval cocoon surrounding and protecting is created. After 16 days, larvae convert to the beautiful butterfly, which are fully grown. Moving on to the second diagram, beginning with the selection of the better items of cocoons from the massive range of them.

Thereafter

, those selections are boiled in high-temperature water, which unwinds the thread. The threads are usually between 300 and 600 meters long.

Subsequently

, most of the

silk

threads are twisted to become a stronger rope. At the Final stage ropes can be dyed or twisted.
