The Fascinating Life of Domesticated Silk Moths The domesticated silk moth, *Bombyx mori*, is a remarkable example of human influence on nature. Shaped over 5,000 years of selective breeding, these moths have become dependent on humans for survival, no longer able to fly, find food, or survive without assistance. In return, they provide one of the most prized materials in the world: silk. The process of raising these moths, known as sericulture, is an ancient practice that dates back to at least 2700 BCE in China. It begins with tiny eggs that hatch into larvae that feed solely on white mulberry leaves. These larvae grow quickly, molting four times before spinning themselves into their iconic silk cocoons. After harvesting, these cocoons are typically boiled to preserve the silk. Interestingly, if the moth is allowed to mature fully, it turns into a surprisingly awkward creature, with a body too heavy to fly and oversized eyes that give it an almost soulful appearance. These moths, often called 'sky puppies' because of their soft fur and docile nature, are kept as pets by some. Their brief adult life, lasting only a few days, is dedicated solely to mating and laying eggs before the cycle begins again. Their curious appearance and gentle behavior have made them endearing to many, earning them a unique place in the animal kingdom.

The vanishing mulberry trees of Kashmir The gradual disappearance of these trees, a part of the union territory’s  heritage, has impacted the sericulture trade and led to migration, climate change and a way of life Khursheed Ahmad ShahSilkw...

The mulberry tree has historically been central to Kashmir’s economy and supported livelihoods across the valley. With its gradual easing out, the sericulture trade has been badly impacted.
