Silk is produced by other insects; but, generally, only the silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacturing. There's been research into other types of silk. Silk is mainly produced by the larvae of insects undergoing complete metamorphosis', but some insects, such as web spinners and raspy crickets, produce silk throughout their lives.. Silk production also occurs in hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants), silverfish, mayflies, leafhoppers, beetles, lacewings, fleas, flies, midges..
