The almighty king of caterpillars, the silkworm! You can thank this little grub for creating all your silk products ♥ They work very hard.

In appearance, the caterpillars are not always white with black stripes, sometimes they are just plain white or cream.

Morus alba “White Mulberry”

Morus nigra “Black Mulberry”

Morus rubra “Red Mulberry”
