About Bombyx mori
The silkworm, Bombyx mori, has been used for silk production for over 5,000 years. As a fully domesticated insect, it is dependent on humans for its survival and reproduction. Due to its ease of culture, the silkworm has become a model organism in the study of Lepidopteran and arthropod biology.
