Wow! This is like science fiction but its not!

Not surprisingly, many SciFi horror movie monsters are fashioned after insects and their strange life cycles :-)

that thin stuff around it,is it to protect from falling?

I loved it when someone mentioned how interesting it was that I used a thin thread to attach the caterpillar to the twig like that. They were amazed to find out that the caterpillar did that itself (and so was *I*)!

:D
