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 diagrams illustrate the different stages of the

silkworm

during its life and the procedure of

silk

cloth

.

Overall

, the life cycle of a

silkworm

begins with the

silkworm

laying

eggs

and culminating in the cocoon which is used for

cloth

production. The most logical point to start is a moth laying

eggs

on a mulberry leaf, these

eggs

transform into

larva

larvae

after being hatched for 10 days. The

silkworm

larva eats mulberry leaves as the main nutrition for them and completes the second

stage

of the life cycle in 4-6 weeks. The next step

after

this

is when the larvas create the

silk

thread and turn it into a cocoon after a 3-to-8-day period. The cocoon

stage

lasts for 16 days and they become moths in the final

stage

and restart the cycle by laying

eggs

. Moving onto the procedure of

silk

cloth

, the

silk

thread shells taken from silkworms are selected and put in boiling water.

After

this

step is complete, they are unwinded and the thread is 300-to-900 meters long. The next

stage

is when these shells are twisted

then

dyed or after being weaved. The whole process terminates when the

silk

cloth

has been dyed and is ready to be shipped.
