| Silks fabrics are produced by several other
insects, but only the silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile
manufacture. There has been some research into other silks, which differ
at the molecular level. Silks are mainly produced by the larvae of insects
that complete metamorphosis, but also by some adult insects such as webspinners.
Silk production is especially common in the Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and
ants), and is sometimes used in nest construction. Other types of arthropod
produce silk, most notably various arachnids such as spiders (see spider
silk). |
