Before when the pupae can't fly, farmers need to gain as much silk form it. When the pupae transforms into an moth it will fly away.

How are pupae's larvae's and nymphs different?
The beginning of insect reproduction occurs when the female forms eggs in her ovaries. Sperm from a male is deposited in another special part of her body. When the female lays her eggs, the sperm fertilizes them. After hatching, the new insects undergo a growth stage. A few insects grow into adults when a tiny copy of the parent is hatched (for example, the silverfish). Other insects go through a nymph form before becoming adults (like the cricket). Some insects are hatched into larvae, change into pupae, and finally become adults. (The housefly is an example.)

What is the life cycle of anthropod?
They begin as eggs and can follow several different life cycles, depending on the group. Some insects hatch as miniature adults, while others hatch as nymphs and develop by stages into adults. Still others hatch as larvae and enter a resting stage as pupae, during which they may be enclosed in a cocoon and go through internal changes before emerging as adults. During their various developmental stages, known as metamorphosis, arthropods may shed their outer covering several times (molt).
