  • I have a couple of cacoons on my car, I don't have the heart to knock them off. I washed around them, I hope they are born. They are still alive its been about a week. This video is just a way for us to see miracles in everyday life.

  • Glad you enjoyed the show - I hope your cocoons will give you a good show too! Most species like to emerge in the mid-morning through early afternoon, so those are the times to keep an eye on them if you want to actually see them emerge :-)

  • @jcmegabyte 4 have webbed themselves in on my work vehicle and are still alive. Do you know how long before they hatch from the time they settle in?

  • Those sound more like "pest" moths than anything big and "cool"... Those extremely prolific types are typically fast breeders and will go through their life cycle as quickly as possible when conditions are good. However, the time from pupation to emerging could be anywhere from a couple of weeks to several years... each species has a different plan, so to really know what to expect means you'll need to identify the species and then research its life cycle. I would guess sooner than later :-)

  • Their so beautiful, I'd like to be someday beautiful like them...

  • I would certainly like to be able to fly like them, or better yet, like a hummingbird! :-)

  • @jcmegabyte They are the green worms in florida that fall from the sky. As we Floridians put it. From what i understand they turn into moths. The first day I saw one on my car, I decided to save it and used a leaf to have him climb onto and transfer to a bush. HAHA. When i looked closer, I saw there were 10's of them. I did the best I could. They are in our hair, on our clothes and god knows where else.

  • @jcmegabyte - Haha, true, must be a wonderful feeling

  • You definitely have to wonder how they feel about being cramped into such a small package for so long, but they always seem to wait until everything is just right before they come out. Must not be in TOO big of a hurry! :-)

  • I love metamorphosis.

    my cocoon is feeling a little snug...

    hope i am ready to come out soon. : )
