A male silk worm is called a "moth," specifically the male Bombyx mori, while the female is also referred to as a "moth," but is typically larger and produces more silk. Both male and female silk worms go through a complete metamorphosis, transitioning from larva to pupa before emerging as adult moths. The primary difference lies in their roles in reproduction and silk production, with females laying eggs after mating.

How can you tell a male worm from a female worm because im keeping this worm as a pet and i want to know if it is a male or female so i can name it a proper male or female name the name so far is slik?

Worms are hermaphrodites which means they have both male and female parts. Your worm is male and female. If you are only keeping one worm, I suggest you get it some worm friends. Worms only "enjoy" (meaning actually do) three things: eating, defecating, and living the worm-thug life (hanging out in coils with other worms, eating, defecating, having sex). Name it Pat or choose a name from nameplayground ambiguous. Name your worm Earthworm Jim/Jane/Jessica Biel or GTFO.

Why does the male bilharzia parasite hold the female worm?

The male bilharzia parasite, or Schistosoma, holds the female worm within a structure called the gynecophoral canal. This adaptation allows the male to provide a stable environment for the female, facilitating reproduction. By remaining close, the male ensures that the female can produce eggs efficiently, which is crucial for the parasite's lifecycle and successful transmission to new hosts. This pairing enhances the likelihood of survival and propagation of the species.
