      It feels being in a sauna for months, all cramped and over-snug, and finally as soon as we get to breathe after breaking open the cocoon we are so sweaty but relaxed and then after 2 weeks we faint and die the end beautiful story

      They don’t feel cramped because they digest themselves and rebuild themself so by the time it’s rebuilt it’s usually already breaking out and when they are digested guts they don’t feel anything

    Hi, there! It's me, Rain, again! Wow! What a truly beyond fascinatingly amazing vidio this is! Such a very gorgeous moth, and such a cute looking caccon too! So fasinating! I know I most definitely have to say, if I where a butterfly in the same position as that moth, I would probably likely be literally puuuuushing and puuuuuushing and paaaaanting and gruuuuunting and shoooooving with every Fibre of my being to get out of that tight thing! I know I can just Imagine myself saying," ooooooo- ooooof- ooooo- puuuuush, ooooo, shoooooove, oh, oh, oh, come- oooooof- onnnnn, cooooome- ooooon, pu- pu-puuuuuuuush! Ooooo, come- onnnnn, coooooome- ooooon, I- ummmmpf- haaaaave- ooooow- tooooo- pu, pu, pu, puuuuuuuush, ooooof, owwwww, ooooof, ummmmpf, oooooo, huuuuuurrrrrgppppfffffh!" Lol! I love this vidio!

    Misleading. The Cecropia moth builds a horizontal and durable Cacoon which is pretty unique looking for a giant silk moth. It would have been nice to show it so your viewers can spot it in nature.

      @@christipuffinburger4086 I signed up for a "Bug Forum" that same day. From what I found out she was deformed. My poor girl stayed the same. When the sun was almost down, that same day, I climbed a tree in my yard, and put her as high as I could. It was so sad. She was trying to flop her wings constantly...She knew she must fly but could not. Luckily, it is the tree that she would cocoon naturally, so she would emerge on this tree ( if not in my jar :)) . I originally found her as caterpillar on one of my apple tree, right next to this one. So, I just let her go. Hopefully she was able to attract a male, they live so little.

She's been mating with the one since then. I am hopeful she lays eggs so I can try again and next time. Hopefully the wings won't be deformed. :(

    I did the worst thing today. I was fixing my garage door and saw what I thought was wet cardboard stuck to inside of door. I scraped it off and was wondering what it was. Well upon scraping it off I tore it open and saw yellowish fluid gush out! I googled it and yes it was one of these beautiful moths which probably had another month or so of coming out. Please people don't make me feel any worse 😰😰😰😭😭

      oh well...... I've made mistakes like that too. like one day, there was a fly in our house and while I was trying to kill the fly, I felt something wet under my foot. I looked down and I had stepped on a caterpillar, it was still slightly moving but liquid was gushing out, and it was not going to survive. I thought to myself, if just I was paying more attention, I would have a caterpillar and be able to raise it into beautiful moth. it was all my fault.... but everybody makes mistakes.
