  1. Sericulture, or silk production, from the moth, Bombyx mori, has a long and colorful history unknown to most people. Although there are several commercial species of silkworms, B. mori is the most widely used and intensively studied, and techniques for its rearing are the most improved. This insect is the sole living species in its family, Bombycidae, and has been domesticated for so long that it probably no longer survives in the wild.  According to Chinese records, the discovery of silk production from B. mori occurred about 2,700 B.C.
