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 provided graphics demonstrate the stages of a silkworm's life and the process of making

silk

materials.

Overall

, the life cycle of a silkworm is circular and comprises four distinct development stages, compared to the man-made linear procedure of the production of

silk

, which consists of five different steps. To start the lifespan, an adult female moth lays eggs on a specific leaf, named

Mullberry

Mulberry

, and after 10 days, eggs start to hatch and silkworm larvae are born. These larvae spend a maximum of 6 weeks feeding on the same leaf and

then

start to build cacoons, which are made of valuable

silk

threads. It takes nearly three to six days to finish weaving a

, and

spends exactly 16 days before emerging as an adult moth that follows the same life path as its predecessor. After moths leave the

cacooons

cacao

, they are gathered and undergo a selection process to choose the best in order to produce quality

silk

materials.

Then

these are subjected to heat before unravelling into threads ranging in length from 300 to 900 metres, which are twisted,
