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.

What habitat do silkworms live in?

Silkworms live in controlled environments known as silkworm farms, where they are typically housed indoors in trays or boxes. They require mulberry leaves, their primary food source, and a controlled temperature and humidity to thrive. Silkworms are also known to be sensitive to light and sound, so their habitat needs to be relatively quiet and dimly lit.


How is the silkworm an example of how people and animals can live together?
