Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount
Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount (Product Code: SLE/EZ/28) is a labelled set of real silkworm specimens sealed in an acrylic block, used to teach the silkworm's metamorphosis and the basics of sericulture in school and college zoology. It shows the egg, larva, caterpillar, pupa and adult, and adds mulberry leaves plus samples of raw silk and silk fabric, so students follow the story from food plant to finished cloth. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount Used For?
Sericulture, the rearing of silkworms for silk, is a standard topic in economic zoology, and this block turns it into something students can hold. They can trace the growth from tiny egg to feeding larva and mature caterpillar, then the pupa and the adult moth, and see why the mulberry leaf matters as the larva's food. The raw silk and fabric samples complete the chain from insect to textile, which helps connect biology lessons with India's silk industry.
Use the block at a practical station with a worksheet asking students to name each stage and describe what happens between them, then compare it with a grasshopper life cycle to contrast complete and incomplete metamorphosis. Since the specimens are sealed, the block can be passed around freely. Clean it with a soft, damp cloth and store it away from strong sunlight. It is a long-lasting addition to zoology lab equipment in India.

What stages does the Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount show?
The Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount shows the egg, larva, caterpillar, pupa and adult of the silkworm in a labelled set. Seeing every stage in one block helps students describe complete metamorphosis in order.
What else is included in the Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount?
Besides the life stages, the Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount includes mulberry leaves, the silkworm's food plant, and samples of raw silk and silk fabric. These link the insect's biology to silk production.
Are the specimens in the Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount real?
Yes. The Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount contains real specimens encased in an acrylic block, which protects them from decay. As natural material, the specimens can vary slightly in size and colour between blocks.
What size is the Silkworm Lifecycle Plastomount?
