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.
Silkworms are insects. All insects have six legs in the adult stage. Silkworm caterpillars have six real legs, plus five pairs of pseudopods (false legs) on the rear of the body. The very rear is split and used for grasping twigs and leaves. All insects have no backbone or skeleton, but instead have an exoskeleton (exterior shell).
