To live again as butterfly.

neat pics! we have 2 cocoons on our carport. we watched the caterpillars make them, one on one day, and the other the next day. we are anxiously awaiting the big day to find out what they are. :)

I found a cocoon on a dead bush and it looks just like the trunk of the dead plant. It looks like it is made out of tiny sticks. Anyone know what it is?

Guest		20-Nov-2011 23:37
I have searched through almost all these pictures and I can't find what I'm looking for. The cacoon is tan with black and orange spots on it . Anyone know what it is?

I love to photograph butterflies and such and I love all of your pictures and info. Thanks Chris

I found a cocoon today and it was very thin and silky and you could see the caterpillar inside. What type of butterfly/moth could this be? I also noticed a small hole in the side of the cocoon, will this harm the caterpillar inside?

Natasha Daniels		11-Apr-2010 03:24
what will happen if you touch a cocoon?

Candice		26-Mar-2010 04:15
I have a question that none of my searches have satisfied. My son and I were gardening this afternoon and we found a stone-like cocoon. It was too perfect to be a rock and it looked to have grooves like a beetles back. There was a small hole at one side and it was elongated about two inches in length and about a quarter to half inch in width; it is brown dark brown and beige striped down the width of the 'cocoon'. My son and I are curious as to what it is. Could anyone help us solve this mystery?

hey great pictures but our caterpillar is still alive and its cocoon moves along with it. bit like a turtle carries his house our preschool group would like to know if you have seen one of these. the cocoon has sticks all over it like match sticks probably so the birds don't see it.

Great gallery!

We are watching green caterpillers, three different ones-they are holding onto the branch of cayenne pepper plant, and the coccoons or silk spores or something are clinging to the body in each case-we found your lovely website, and wonder if anyone would know anything about we are watching:)!

A caterpillar made a cocoon on the toung of my boot a couple of days ago it's still there and i have watched it go through the process the only problem is I now need a new pair of shoes.lol

not all caterpillars turn into butterflies, so that little saying at the top is incorrect. cute though, i guess.

Alexandra		21-May-2009 23:56
Haw do u tell if it is a boy or a girl and how do u tell what kind of caterpillar it is? ????///
