This sequence shows the 1st instar larvae of the Mojave Electra Silk Moth group precession and feeding behavior in time lapse. These spiny little caterpillars hatch in late winter/early spring from a cluster of eggs laid the previous fall. They remain together in a tight group for protection until they are much larger. Much more butterfly/moth video, photography and life cycle studies available free to the public at HTTP://jcmdi.com, and the Hi-Res version of this video is available on DVD at http://technician.jcmdi.com/lepdvd01/lepdvd01.html for details.

  • Interesting, but..... just "OHHHH"... 5*

  • This was one of my earlier ones and didn't even have any sound. Not very artistic, but definitely interesting, at least scientifically! Thanks for watching.

  • Very interesting, how long did the video take actually?

  • This sequence was captured from about 80-90 minutes-worth of video. They don't move very fast, especially when there are a lot of them. In fact, without the time lapse sequence, it's really hard to see any progress or direction in their movement.
