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}.

succulent vegetables, being often very destructive, Many
of them are popularly called worms, as the {cutworm},
{cankerworm}, {army worm}, {cotton worm}, {silkworm}.
[1913 Webster]
