Today is show and tell at Joshua's school. I gave him a fruit jar to take with him...with a Polyphemus moth cocoon in it! Printed up this page to take with it. He's going to give it to his teacher to keep.

These caterpillars are HUGH...bright green! They make these very tough fibrous cocoons. Well, we had one of the caterpillers climbing up our front door so I fetched a jar and put it in the jar where it promptly made a cocoon!

When it comes out of the cocoon (if it does...I hope it does!) the resulting moth is GIGANTIC! Up to five inches across. Very pretty.
