Hello how are you steemit friends
In this post I will share photos and a little knowledge of silk threads that are rife in the world.
Silk or silk is a natural protein fiber that can be woven into textiles. The most common type of silk is the silk from the cocoons produced by the cultivated larvae of silkworm larvae (Bombyx mori) (the caterpillar farm is called sericulture). Silk has a smooth texture, soft, but not slippery. The shimmering appeal of the silk appeal comes from a structure like a triangular prism in the fiber that makes silk fabrics can refract light from different angles.
Silk is also produced by several other types of insects, but only silk caterpillar silk is used for textile fabrication. There have also been studies of other sutras that reveal differences from the molecular aspect. Silk is produced primarily by complete mammal larvae, but is also produced by some adult insects such as Embioptera. Silk production is also often found especially in hymenoptera order insects (bees, beaters, and ants), and sometimes used to make nests. Other types of arthropods also produce silk, especially arachnids such as spiders. For the silk fabric of the spider web or called Qmonos (spiderwebs in Japanese) it is claimed to have three times stronger power than Kevlar (a material commonly used for bulletproof vests) and five times stronger than steel.
