Embioptera other food sources. Subsociality is a trade-off for the female, as the energy and time that is exerted into caring for her young is rewarded by giving them a much greater chance of surviving and carrying on her genetic lineage. Some species do share galleries with more than one adult, however most groups consist of one adult female and her offspring. Embiopterans produce a silk thread highly similar to that produced by the much better known silkworm "Bombyx mori". The silk is produced in spherical secretory glands in the tarsi of the embiids enlarged forelimbs, and can be produced by
Bombyx hybrid have to be kept in the same container. Since "Bombyx" hybrids are much more common than the other variation more is known about them. The domesticated silkworm ("B. mori") was domesticated from wild silkworm ("B. mandarina") more than 5,000 years ago. Bombyx hybrid The "Bombyx" hybrid is a hybrid between a female "Bombyx mori" moth and a male "Bombyx mandarina" moth. They produce silkworm larvae like all species of "Bombyx". The larvae look a lot like the other variations. They are brown in the first half and gray at the bottom half, but they get larger black spots than other
