| 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). |
