Wild silk used to produce cloth. They usually produce a tougher and rougher silk than that from domesticated "Bombyx mori" silkworms. Wild silks are usually harvested after the moths have left the cocoons, cutting the threads in the process, so that there is not one long thread, as with domesticated silkworms. Wild silks are more difficult to bleach and dye than silk from "Bombyx mori", but most have naturally attractive colours, particularly the rich golden sheen of the silk produced by the muga silkworm from Assam, often known as Assam silk. The cocoon shells of wild silk moths are toughened or stabilized
Crustacean larva long rostrum, and a spine on either side of the carapace; the first post-larva closely resembles the adult. Porcelain crabs have two or three larval stages, in which the rostrum and the posterior spine on the carapace are "enormously long". Hermit crabs pass through around four larval stages. The post-larva is known as the "glaucothoe", after a genus named by Henri Milne-Edwards in 1830. The glaucothoe is long in "Pagurus longicarpus", but glaucothoe larvae up to are known, and were once thought to represent animals which had failed to develop correctly. Like the preceding stages, the glaucothoe is symmetrical, and
