Realistic Domestic Silk Moth Plush – Soft, Lifelike, and Perfect for Nature Lovers

The domestic silk moth (Bombyx mori) is a remarkable insect that has been domesticated for over 5,000 years to produce luxurious silk. A single cocoon can yield up to 900 meters of silk thread, but it takes around 6,000 cocoons to make one kilogram of silk! These moths are completely dependent on humans—they can’t fly and thrive on white mulberry leaves, detecting their scent like true gourmets. Interestingly, their pupae are edible and even proposed as sustainable space food for astronauts. From ancient legends to modern science, the silk moth continues to weave its charm into our lives!
