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.
Itâs true silk is a material spun by the silkworm (which is not really a worm at all)! Silkworms are often raised for their silk. Once they hatch from eggs, they are fed mulberry leaves regularly so they can get big and strong. When theyâve grown to healthy size, they are ready to spin their cocoons from silk.
