Hi everybody

I started this blog in honour of the silkworm, a tiny animal belonging to class insecta which produce one of the most sought after materials by man- silk. I wish to cover everything related to this humble creature. Its history- more than 4000 years old; the emperors who adored it- Huang- De of China to Tippu of India, the path it had travelled - the dry deserts of Takli makkan to the snow clad peaks of Himalaya, its biology - of interest to entomologists, microbiologists, pathologists, anatomists, physiologists and molecularbiologists; its economic uses - of interest to women, men the rich and the poor and finally its future possible role on the fate of many countries. Please visit this blog again.
