This has got to be one of the cutest video's on youtube, absolutely adorable and what a beautiful moth, that little girl is so sweet I love this video (:

Beautiful! But at this stage they only live about 1-2 weeks. They emerge from the cocoon only to breed and then they die. I am in Atlantic Canada. I found the caterpillar last fall and he has over wintered, Just today I could feel it moving inside his cocoon. I hope he does not emerge just yet. It's still chilly here.

Did she find it as a moth or did it cocoon with you?

@Mom2AmyandKaycie Thanks :) Yea she actually found it as a moth at my father in law's farm. After the video we just let go. I live in Erie, Pa and we have a state park on an arching sandy peninsula. I've seen all kinds of weird bugs there but I've never seen a butterfly as big as the luna moth before. You should try to catch a video of that butterfly as it hatches.
