Silkworms typically don't live very long. They can be harmed by man or eaten by a predator such as a bird. Some live for a few weeks while others die within a few days.
Today's silkworms only live in man made habitats. They prefer a habitat filled with mulberry trees because this is the type of tree they eat.
