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.
Silkworm larvae are not as large as tomato hornworms, but they are also an excellent source of nutrition. Both are straightforward to rear. Several companies provide these food items in an easy-to-use container complete with food for the insect. Do not feed tomato hornworms from the tomato plants in your garden. Even if you don't use pesticides, these worms may be toxic from eating the tomato leaves.
