morus alba
caterpillars mainly feed on mulberry leaves
Silkworms are the larvae of any number of species of moths, collectively called Silk Moths. The species used for nearly all commercial silk is Bombyx mori. and they are highly "host specific" meaning the organism (the symbiont) depends upon one particular species of plants, animal, or insect for its host, and they will only eat Mullberry leaves.
The silkworm feeds mainly on the leaves of the mulberry tree. Silk growers provide their charges with fresh leaves daily to keep them growing and happy.
Silk worms are fed on the leaves of the Black Mulberry (Morus nigra)
To accurately identify mulberry leaves, look for leaves that are alternate, lobed, and have serrated edges. Mulberry leaves are typically heart-shaped and have a rough texture. They are also arranged in an alternating pattern along the stem. Additionally, mulberry leaves have a distinct smell when crushed, similar to green tea.
