چکیده
THE colours and forms of moths and butterflies have inspired artists and poets for centuries. One of the oldest industries to evolve from insects is sericulture, or silk production. According to Confucius' records, silk was discovered in the third millennium B.C. in China. The Chinese held a monopoly over silk to the extent that anyone attempting to export silk came under the death sentence by imperial decree. Both raw and woven silk played a major role as virtual currency and was a symbol of status and style in many cultures, for instance, among Persians, Byzantines, Turkish nomads and the Sogdian merchants of Central Asia1.
