What's the difference between bombic and silkworm?

Bombic


Definition:

  • (a.) Pertaining to, or obtained from, the silkworm; as, bombic acid.

Example Sentences:

Silkworm


Definition:

  • (n.) The larva of any one of numerous species of bombycid moths, which spins a large amount of strong silk in constructing its cocoon before changing to a pupa.

  • (12) Induction of antibacterial activity was investigated in the ligated fifth instar larvae of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, by injection of formalin-treated Escherichia coli K-12 into the haemocoel in the anterior and in the posterior body part, followed by activity determination by inhibition zone assay of the haemolymph at 12 and 24 hr after immunization.
