Silkworms protect themselves from predators primarily through their ability to produce silk, which they use to create protective cocoons. These cocoons not only provide a physical barrier but also camouflage the silkworms, making it harder for predators to spot them. Additionally, if threatened, silkworms can exhibit behaviors such as curling up or remaining still to avoid detection. Some species also release chemicals that can deter potential predators.
