What does the cocoon of the polyphemus look like? I have a cocoon that I believe to be that and it has just begun to start moving inside the cocoon. It is very interesting.
I have a Polyphemus Moth in his/her cocoon right now! I think it'll winter over though. It's cocoon has gotten bigger though, it like, expanded. I'm so excited! Oh, I may be wrong, because I'm not very insect educated, but this moth looks female to me. :P I name my moth Bob!
I found a polyphemus moth sitting in the middle of a street, evidently falling from a nearby tree, unknown as to what type. I got him into a cardboard moth, and he died. :(
I have a moth in my room this very moment. It's night time. It's summer. My room is warm, therefore, I opened my window. Mr. "I-Love-Light-Weeee!" saw my ajar window, said to himself, "I love light! Weeeee!" and stumbled into my room like your drunk uncle gate crashing your quiet family get-together.
What is the point? Why does he think he has right to accomodation in my space? Why does he keep flying into the light? Doesn't he know that he'll never actually reach it? Forget that for a second, perhaps this feathery bastard likes to hit his head on lightbulbs. Maybe he enjoys it? But, why should I let him? Does he contribute towards my electricity bill? No, therefore, he has no right to use my energy.
Therefore, I smack him with a magazine I happened to have nearby. He flies out of harm's way. Tell me, how is it that he has enough intelligence to block my super-accurate (I'm a super hero, btw) fist of fury, yet still be moronic enough to fly into it again. Logic states that you fly AWAY from the predator (me). Why fly back into me? What do I have that you want? Death? Do you want to die? Fine. I finally crush him with my hand. End of moth.
You're just another stupid boy who thinks it's cool to smash pretty insects.... I'm glad that I'm not a boy, you must be very tired of acting so stupid all the time!
so THIS is what the hell was on my window a few months ago, I thought I saw a freaky bat due to the lighting xD

Those of you that hate moths should know that they pollinate night blooming flowers. We need them.
Those feathery antennae are characteristic of males.

What the hell? Kill it!

Why should you kill this pretty animal, you EMPTY-HEAD!
CandyCrayon91 5 years ago
Because it's too large to be allowed life.
These unco-ordinated bastards keep getting attracted to light for no apparent reason at all.
They're butterfly's retard cousin.
