Abstract

This article presents a letter written by the Silesian teacher and naturalist Oskar Zlik to the French entomologist and silkworm specialist Félix-Edouard Guérin-Ménevill. Zlik was honored with membership in the French Imperial Acclimatization Society. Japanese oak silkmoths were sent from Paris to Cieszyn, which enabled the introduction of this species to Silesia. The merits of Zlik's scientific research and teaching, and the historical context of sericulture development were described.
