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

The illustrations depict the transformation of a

silkworm

from an egg to a moth and the process of

silk

cloth

production. It is evident that the

silkworm

's development consists of four key phases, starting from eggs and culminating in adult moths. Meanwhile, the production of

silk

cloth

involves six distinct steps, beginning with the

silkworm

cocoons

and ending with the creation of

silk

fabric. In the first phase of the

silkworm

’s development, moths lay their eggs on mulberry leaves. After approximately ten days, the eggs hatch into

silkworm

larvae, which feed on the leaves. Over the following four to six weeks, the larvae spin

silk

threads

around themselves, eventually forming a full cocoon in three to eight days. Sixteen days later, the larvae emerge from their

cocoons

as adult moths, ready

to begin

the cycle anew.

On the other hand

, the process of

silk

cloth

production begins with the careful selection and boiling of

cocoons

in water. After boiling, the

cocoons

are unwound to extract the

silk

threads

, which can range from 300 to 900 meters in length.

Subsequently

, multiple

threads

are twisted together. In the final stages, the

threads

are either dyed first and

then

woven into the fabric, or they are woven into

cloth

and dyed

afterward
