While turning these units, the hatchling discharge a high-protein liquid that becomes one constant silk string. When this happens, cultivators step in and kill the hatchling by lowering them in steaming hot water- - in any case, the hatchlings will develop and eat through and obliterate the desired silk strings. When the hatchling bites the dust, the silk string is painstakingly collected so it very well may be woven into things like sumptuous silk sheets.
