We caught on tape a Luna Moth emerging from its cocoon. Commentary provided by our kids. We stopped taping & provided the moth with a stick. It climbed on, pumped his wings for a while & flew a way happy as a lark. It was a great learning experience for the kids. They have a great appreciation for these beautiful creatures.

  • You're lucky to have the camera ready when it decided to emerge! They need to climb to a hanging position within a few minutes of emerging in order to expand their wings. Hopefully it got to climb onto something before its time was up! :)

  • Thanks for your post. We did get it a stick where the moth was able to gain strength and fly away. Beautiful!

  • It makes me sad to watch it struggle to find something to climb up onto to dry its wings. I'm glad you gave it a stick though eventually..

  • i was disgusted by how you thought it was funny that it couldn't turn over!

  • Awesome I have a cocoon of one right now waiting for it to emerge.

  • it stars climbing out and mom goes thinks OH CRAP "guuys.. open the door OPEN THE DOOR!!" ahaha

  • cool

  • @jasonschaeper ok, so forget about the worlds most colorful flying creature, the madagascarian Urania Ripheus. it was voted the most beautiful creature in the world, and guess waht! its a moth! what do butterflies do? flutter around, handy-dandy until they get fucked by getting eaten! also, moths have amazing tactics to evade predators? do butterflies have any? only poison. WHOOP DE FUCKING DOO! many moths are poisonous! learn facts before you look like a dick, you faggy cunt.

  • @jasonschaeper SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO LAY DOWN AND DIE IF YOU DONT WANT TO SEE TAKE YOUR IGNORANT ASS ON SOMEWHWERE DUMBASS MUTHAFUCKA

  • Moths are the dumbest creature on earth. Alls they do is eat sleep and shit. They are the butterflys retarded cousin and all of you are idiots for thinking this is cool. Possibly the dumbest people in the universe think moths are cool.

  • it sounded like she had an orgasm when it came out
