Sericin Sericin is a protein created by "Bombyx mori" (silkworms) in the production of silk. Silk is a fibre produced by the silkworm in production of its cocoon. It consists mainly of two proteins, fibroin and sericin.
Crustacean larva post-larva is characterised by the use of abdominal appendages (pleopods) for propulsion. The post-larva is usually similar to the adult form, and so many names have been erected for the stage in different groups. William Elford Leach erected the genus "Megalopa" in 1813 for a post-larval crab; a shrimp post-larva is called a "parva"; hermit crab post-larva are called "glaucothoe". In the Branchiopoda, the most basal group of crustaceans, there is no metamorphosis; instead, the animal grows through a series of moults, with each moult adding various numbers of segments to the body, but without any dramatic changes in form.
