    Question

    Newly hatched silkworm larva is technically known as:

    A.

    Spinneret

    B.

    Kengo

    C.

    Disease free laying

    D.

    Cocoon

    Correct option is B


    In sericulture (the science of silkworm rearing), understanding the terminology related to different life stages of the silkworm is essential. The lifecycle of a silkworm ( Bombyx mori) includes egg → larva → pupa → adult moth.
    �� Kengo:
    · The term "Kengo" refers to the newly hatched larva of the silkworm.
    · It emerges from the egg and is also sometimes called a 1st instar larva.
    · At this stage, the larva is tiny, blackish, and extremely delicate.
    · Proper care and optimal environmental conditions (humidity and temperature) are crucial to ensure high survival rates.
    This stage marks the beginning of the larval phase, where the silkworm undergoes several molts and feeds voraciously on mulberry leaves.
