Silkworm gut
(gcide) | Silkworm \Silk"worm`\, n. [AS. seolcwyrm.] (Zool.)
The larva of any one of numerous species of bombycid moths,
which spins a large amount of strong silk in constructing its
cocoon before changing to a pupa.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The common species (Bombyx mori) feeds on the leaves
of the white mulberry tree. It is native of China, but
has long been introduced into other countries of Asia
and Europe, and is reared on a large scale. In America
it is reared only to small extent. The Ailanthus
silkworm (Philosamia cynthia) is a much larger
species, of considerable importance, which has been
introduced into Europe and America from China. The most
useful American species is the Polyphemus. See
Polyphemus.
[1913 Webster]
