Whooo hooo!

I guy that likes me gave me a cocoon he had found.

Today, the little (actually it is a pretty big cocoon) beast began his journey to the world!

I heard him scratching this morning. I had a meeting to go to, I was kind of worried he might exit while I was gone.

It will take some time.

He has chewed a hole in the top of the cocoon.

You can see his little face. Awww!

He is napping right now, but when I go shine a light on him he reaches out his little arm.

I'll be taking pictures. There is not much to see at this moment. I just don't have the kind of camera that is needed to get such a close up in such a monotone color scheme.

Gosh! I hope he comes out tomarrow and dries his wings! I can't wait to se him!

No, I will not be keeping him. I do not have a way to feed moths.

And no, I am not going to kill him to keep him.

Whooo hoo!

this is way cool.

When Geo first dropped the cocoon onto my skirt. I freaked a bit. I thought it might be a spider nest. Then everyone told me it was a cocoon.
That day I held it and could feel it moving inside. I knew then that there where no spiders that large!

Whoo hoo!

nice

That's awesome. Whenever I'm out in the yard & find some huge ass caterpillar, I always make sure to place it somewhere safe & out of any birds view. Biggest ones we get around here turn into these giant ass moths that are almost like a small finch in size. Scary as fuck when one flies into the garage & starts bouncing off the walls. You just know it's gonna hit you in the face & go down your shirt.

Like this one...

I read and was later told that it should take 15 -20 min for moth to come out of his cocoon. He was on his 3rd day. I cut him out. He crawled in the plants for a day or so. climbing this and that. Going from here to there, but never pumping his wings full of fluid.

I thought he was a sick moth, I was going to feed him to Jimmy. However, I was worried about feeding Jimmy a sick moth.

Moth is gone. Poof! gone...

Moth left something that looks like eggs. I will contain his discard. But Moth is gone~ I have looked high and low. He is gone.

[sadaist]

Aww....maybe he'll eat through one of your sweaters soon to let you know he is still around. Still pretty cool to watch nature do it's thing up close like that.

In the clarity of morning, yes, that is now a concern. I am charging my mag-lite and will comb the areas. Strike that I put new batteries in the small mag-lite knock-off Great-lite and found her. Once I put the light horizontal to the floor, her trail was easy to pick up. She was stopped by a small shelf I move daily to follow the sun. It didn't crush her. It caught one of her legs and she couldn't go further. Her life span was about a week.

I am not god at identifying species.
I tried though.
