Smoking â Tobacco use is one of the major risk factors for cancer of the pancreas. It is believed that those who smoke are twice as likely to get the disease. Obesity â As we know, obesity is a strong risk factor for many diseases, not just cancer.
The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silk moth, Bombyx mori (Latin: silkworm of the mulberry tree). It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. A silkworm's preferred food is white mulberry leaves, though they may eat other mulberry species and even osage orange. Domestic silk moths are closely dependent on humans for reproduction, as a result of millennia of selective breeding.
Many caterpillar species of this group construct a thick, silken tent in the crotches of branches or small limbs on the host tree. The larvae do not feed inside the silken structure as the does the fall webworm. Rather, during the day, they leave the protective silk nest and feed on the foliage of neighboring limbs.
