Isn't it just amazing!! My partner, knowing how much I love butterflies, purchased a butterfly habitat and caterpillars for me. They didn't leave my side as I watched them everyday with my magnifying glass. When they became butterflies and I let them go, I took caterpillars from the garden to protect and feed them in the netted habitat, turns out they are moths! They have cocooned themselves with the napkin I lay on the bottom, it's amazing to watch them do that. They have been cocooned for a month already.

Great video. Never get tired of watching them. Been raising and releasing them since I was 10. I’m 68. Still doin it.

Thank you for that, it is better than anything on the TV now days. It was beautiful!

This was just wonderful and I learned so much. I can't THANK YOU enough for sharing this with others.

We had a big silver maple tree in our backyard as a kid and I would always find caterpillars of this moth and I would raise them through the caterpillar, cocoon, and adult stages. I don’t believe they are as common now as they used to be, sadly.

this video is really neat but i should *not* have been eating gummy worms while watching

It makes me a little sad that this bug goes through a lot to get to its final stage and just gets to live ten days as a beautiful moth :(

The struggle to become a butterfly was about nine months only for a ten days live, and in the same time, for the Cecropia Moth a whole live.

Does anyone else find it just the slightest bit unsettling when they're almost done shedding and still have the head capsule that looks like a second head? Or is it just me?

My favorite part is when the little head falls off. Like a fingernail. Gross but so cool.

The pre-pupa to pupa step is just the most magnificent part apart from emerging to be butterfly itself

Absolutely fascinating and beautiful to watch such an incredible life cycle of transformation- all programmed within.

Very nice! Mine never eclosed in the spring, so I cut it open yesterday to see what it looked like inside. I was so looking forward to seeing a beautiful moth in the spring. I kept it outside in my gazebo over the winter so it would be exposed to the natural elements, so I don't know why it never completed it's cycle. Thank you for sharing this!

super, well made footage

I found one of these moths outside my bar lying in the parking lot in Tulsa Ok on Thursday May 27. That lead me here. This is an amazing video!!!

good content..thanks for the sharing...keep it up..waiting for your next content...stay connected..

Wouldn't the brightly colored skin simply be an evolutionary warning to predators to stay away because it looks toxic? Not for camouflage but still a form of defense.

Nature at times can be so perfect and beautiful,I love your videos, thank you.

Amazing to watch - thanks for sharing it

Thank you very much for posting this video.

Found one at work one day and it was the most beautiful thing ever!

This is a gorgeous video. Very well done and informative.

the whole vid is brilliant but frankly i’m very impressed about the music. Good Job!

Great video! Thank you

Great video. We really got to see everything

Very informative! I've never seen them before 😍

After seeing the clips crediting you viewing inside of the cocoon from an animalogic video, I wanted to watch the whole thing - I thought it would be more of a short time lapse photo collage type thing, but instead got a very informative video with lots of information and learned a lot of new things. Thanks!

I am 36 years old and have ONLY seen 1 IN PERSON❗️ I was aged 4-5 and my 90+ year old Neighbor Fern had 1 on her foot and after I pointed it out in her garden she was ready to stomp it to death but I begged her not to and she didn’t at least while I was there❓❗️ I have ALWAYS ASSUMED that she killed it after I went home❓❗️ THANK YOU FERN FOR NOT TRAUMATIZING ME AT SUCH A IMPRESSIONABLE AGE❗️❗️❗️ AND FOR ALLOWING ME INTO YOUR HOME AND FOR KEEPING ME SAFE WHEN MY PARENTS DID NOT❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️ I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR FERN AND I PRAY THAT WHEN I MAKE IT TO HEAVEN THAT SHE IS THERE TO GREET ME WITH A BIG OLE HUG🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❗️ Oh yeah the worm was located in Jackson County in Jackson, Michigan

Thanks! A friend gave us two cecropia cocoons which we watched hatch this spring in our screened porch. Metamorphosis is fascinating to me. The shedding of skin seems to be an alternative to a skin "patching" mechanism. Since you have to build the skin the first time that mechanism exists. Building a mechanism to control the skin building mechanism would be simpler than building a patching system.

This was lovely

great work, I really enjoyed this

Wow, that’s great video.

Superbe, bravo.

I had moved back to the Midwest for a year from SoCal, and while in the Louisville area I had the chance to see two crecopia moths mating in a bush outside my front door. I was thrilled when I found out from my sister in law that this was a rather rare sighting since they usually fly at night.

O my gosh it is so beautiful and amazing

So beautiful and yet so very sad.... That one of the most majestic families of moths aren't able to feed from flowers like other moths and butterflies. How wondeful it would be, that the adult moths could grace the world for just a few months.

Found one missing hind wings, a bit of one front & most of the other. Cannot fly. Flutters, flops & crawls. Somehow made it into husband's car. He works near freeway. Thinking it may have been hit by car & thrown through husband's open window. Keeping under carport in lg bowl, mostly covered@nite.

Hi there. I rescued a female from my job. She was torn up from a storm and camped out in my store for a few hours. I took her home to a more rural setting and let her free. She left a few eggs. I kept them. Theyve hatched today. I want to raise a couple with my child. Theyre now in butterfly habitats hanging from a tree in my yard. My questions are: How much leaves do they need per day? How long is each phase?

Did u cut a hole in the cocoon?

Does anyone know how long they stay in their cocoons? I have two that have been in for almost a year. Really hoping they are alright.

During my best years I would rear about 150 of these moths annually. I got my best results feeding them on cherry, although they also did well on Basswood, birches and assorted maples.

@@rochellelee7461 Cecropia larvae feed on a broad range of hardwood leaves. I fed mine on Sugar Maple, Hard Maple and Silver Maple. They will not do well on cut food, however, and it's best to rear them on live branches. I reared most of mine on an enclosed, screened in porch, although I also reared a substantial number of them outdoors under netted branches. For rearing them indoors, I used 5-gal. plastic buckets with wooden lids. The lids had various diameter holes drilled through which the branches were inserted. Holes which were not in use were covered to prevent the caterpillars from crawling into the water and drowning. Any spaces were the branches went through the lids were plugged with cotton.

How long does the process take for the Cecropia to make the pupa?

Can you please tell me where this music came from?

what kind of environment and plants butterflies most like? i want more butterflies in my area

@TheHollowBodiesBand

paramini08 That really depends on your where you live. The best way to attract butterflies is 1) Planting Native plants of your region. The butterflies around you are very much used to certain species of plants, and some of them are very specific on where they put their eggs. For instance, Monarchs only lay eggs on Asclepias or Milkweeds. 2) Flowers with a lot of nectar, such as Salvias or sages, will attract butterflies, but also bees and other pollinators.

Did you remove the prepupa to pupa sack/remains? In video, it just disappeared? Around 14:30 mark.

I read somewhere, that the only thing that moth retains from caterpillar is the digestive system. Does anyone know if this is correct. Thanks.

@drew8958

Steven... No, they don't keep their digestive system, although they keep their 3 main segments (Head, Thorax and abdomen).... Silk Moths do not eat as adults (they have no mouth parts!!), which is why the caterpillars grow so large to about 11 cm, so they have all the nutrients to survive as adults. I have bred these moths and have some cocoons in the fridge for 2021 spring emergence... they are more beautiful in real life too and lovely to rear! Hoping they will mate and lay some eggs next year :)

A wonderful video. I raised a generation of Cecropia a few years ago. It was very rewarding. But, I have to agree with most comments, the music was terrible. I don't like music added to videos. The natural sounds are much, much better.

Nature really is amazing and so intelligent. The caterpillar knows it has to do this 5 times without never being shown how. Humans on the other hand if we completely ignored our off spring they wouldn't make it. We have to teach every child how to live whereas nature... just knows. We might be top of the food chain and build our warm houses but take it all away and we are screwed 🤣 we are quite pathetic really
