Walter's Silkmoth time lapse wing expansion sequence

[fenreargreyback]

are you an entomologist ? cause you have a lot of moths and butterflies

[jcmegabyte]

Yes, you could say that :-) Actually,"Lepidopterist" is probably more accurate, since I study Butterflies and Moths spceifcally. Thanks for stopping by =D

[mspupten]

you have some great videos

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks! This is one of the older ones - the newer stuff is much better (purple hairstreaks, california dogface) and I'm going all HD on future projects. Thanks for watching! :-)

I like it!! How long till the wings expanded??

[jcmegabyte]

The whole process only takes 15 minutes or so. :D

it really nice.. it nicer if you wait until the butterfly wings are open wide ^_^ i'm sorry i'm not good in english

[jcmegabyte]

Not to worry - I know what you mean... This particular moth didn't expand its wings all the way, but my another video shows this one plus 2 others which DO "unfold" their wings in the sequence. Watch video: v=jQQ5cTChSuU to see it :)
