蚕的生活史（The life cycle of silkworms） Through the ages the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyins famous statement: to death to make silk, wax torch ashes tears, singing a alive, more than the spirit of struggle. Now, people are often spring silkworm to describe the ideal, for the cause of a life-long struggle, sacrifice for the benefit of mankinds noble personality and sentiment. But from a biological point of view, when the silkworm silk completely, it is not dead, just walk over larval stage in life history, will soon become a pupa. Bombyx mori is a completely metamorphosis insect, and its generation has to go through four completely different stages of development: eggs, larvae, pupae and moths. In the case of a normal rearing of larvae from hatching, eat mulberry leaves to spinning cocooning, takes 20 to 28 days; cocoon takes about 3 days; after 1 to 2 days of pupae; pupae after 10 to 15 days as it is the adult moth moth. In the moth, male and female adults lay eggs, if the birth is non diapause eggs, then after 10 days out of the next generation of larvae hatching. In this way, it takes about 40 to 60 days for the silkworm to complete a generation that is handed down from generation to generation in constant metamorphosis. Then what are the specific forms of the eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults of the silkworm? As a larva, how does the mulberry silkworm grow up little by little? The growth characteristics of egg, pupa, moth and morphology of the silkworm. Eggs Silkworms reproduce by eggs. The eggs looked like fine sesame, about 1 mm wide, 0.5 mm thick. A female moth can produce 400~500 egg, 1700~2000 egg, weighing about 1 grams. The color of the silkworm eggs, Martina is light yellow or yellow, after 1~2 days to pale red bean color, red bean color, then the 3~4 days later into the gray green or purple, no longer changes, called fixed color. The outer layer is a hard shell eggs, which is the yolk and chorion, the fertilized egg in the development of embryos in the process
