The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silkmoth, Bombyx mori. At a certain stage, it weaves a cocoon of silk round itself before beginning its change into a moth. The cocoon is dunked in hot water to kill the caterpillar, and the cocoon is carefully unravelled. Several threads are combined to make the silk yarn used in some clothing.
