They break the fine strands of protective cells
Flightless moths soon emerge to cohabit
And an array of pin point eggs are laid
In ten days the worms wriggle out
Mulberry leaves, supplied by human hand
are devoured with no respite
Skins shed before larvae pupate
Unbroken threads spun from cocoons
The saga of silk

Obviously, few adults are left to break through the cocoons as the there would only be thread segments instead of up to 900m of fine silken thread per cocoon.Thanks to missjl for the illustration.
