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

The diagrams illustrate the stages in the life of a

silkworm

and the process of producing

silk

cloth. There are four main stages in the life cycle of the

silkworm

, from eggs to adult

moth

. The process of

silk

cloth production involves six steps, from

silkworm

cocoon

to

silk

material.

At the first stage

in the life cycle of a

silkworm

, the moth lays its eggs. Around ten days later,

silkworm

larvae hatch from the eggs; these larvae feed on mulberry leaves.

Then

, after four to six weeks, the larvae become covered in

silk

thread

, and it takes between three and eight days for a full

cocoon

to be produced. For

silk

cloth production, a

cocoon

is first selected and

then

boiled in water. After boiling, the

silk

thread

that makes up the

cocoon

is unwound, and

then

several strands of

thread

are twisted together. At the fifth and sixth stages in the process, the

thread

can either be dyed and

then

woven into

silk

fabric, or it can be woven first and

then

dyed
