Answer the following question: Information: - The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silk moth, Bombyx mori (Latin: "silkworm of the mulberry tree"). It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. A silkworm's preferred food is white mulberry leaves, though they may eat other mulberry species and even osage orange. Domestic silk moths are closely dependent on humans for reproduction, as a result of millennia of selective breeding. Wild silk moths are different (having not been selectively bred) from their domestic cousins; they are not as commercially viable in the production of silk. - Bombyx mandarina, the wild silkmoth, is an insect from the moth family Bombycidae. It is the closest relative of "Bombyx mori" the domesticated silkmoth or "silkworm" (properly, this refers to the caterpillars only). Unlike the domesticated relative which is unable to fly or indeed persist outside human care, the wild silkmoth is a fairly ordinary lepidopteran. Its main difference from the domesticated taxon is the more slender body with well-developed wings in males, and the dull greyish-brown color. - Bombyx is the genus of true silkmoths or mulberry silkmoths of the family Bombycidae. For a few thousand years, people only recognised two species, but then several other less important species were discovered, and the genus contains two tested hybrid species, a semi-natural cross between a female Bombyx mori and a male Bombyx mandarina, and another hybrid the other way around from the first. - Moths comprise a group of insects related to butterflies, belonging to the order Lepidoptera. Most lepidopterans are moths; and there are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which are yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. - The Bombycidae are a family of moths. The best-known species is "Bombyx mori" (Linnaeus) or silkworm, native to northern China and domesticated for millennia. Another well known species is "Bombyx mandarina", also native to Asia. - Gunda is a genus of moths of the family Bombycidae ( Silk Moths ) . It is primarily an Oriental genus , found in India , China and South - east Asia . After reading the paragraphs above, we are interested in knowing the entity with which 'gunda' exhibits the relationship of 'instance of'. Find the answer from the choices below. Choices: - bombyx - caterpillar - color - cousins - family - genus - group - humans - moth - order - ordinary - people - reproduction - species - taxon - tree
