Thanks for sharing this wonderful footage. Keep up the good work!

[@stationplaza4631]

So glad to see it had mouth parts that enable it to feed on nectar as an udult. Great footage!

[@blueroule]

I thought it was cute when his little arms popped out and were flailing around and then the Satan horns appeared

[@Angel_Billy4-30-23]

Wow, they're pretty neat looking. And by the way, very beautiful camera footage. I can't believe how close you were able to get ri them and it must've taken forever to get this footage from start to finish, from egg to moth, very beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.

[@CLS63AMGS]

This entertained my family tonight, thank you so much. Can you do an extended video of this interesting and beautiful creature? Please.

[@elemileTLDR]

Absolutely gorgeous. I own a Brahmaea hearsyi in my collection (a bit hard to get, from where I live); thank you very much for letting us see the whole set of instars of this one on HD video.

[@itme8622]

My deepest of condolences for your losses. May they rest in peace.

[@groszek13you]

Many thanks Rüdiger for your comments. I agree, that slowing down some part of the film would show many aspects from developing of the moth more detailed. Welcome soon. I just work on the Lilioceris lilii beetle movie. Regards, Adam

[@makeuparmy3920]

beautiful. I used to hate moths, then I started playing flutter starlight and now I'm just fascinated and completely in love with their wonder and magic...

[@dewbow134]

do you google the moths when you Discover it on the game?

[@shirleyk623]

That's an amazing video. I raise monarch and swallowtail butterflies indoors. It's a wonderful experience to witness them in the full circle of life and then release them. Thanks for sharing.

[@itme8622]

My deepest of condolences for your losses. May they rest in peace.

The video was obviously done fondly, with a lot of patience and addiction! The background gives a quite nice contrast to the animal, and all the details can be seen quite well. I think would be a good idea to take the movie continuously and change parts of it thereafter for time lapse or slow motion, in order to see f.i. how the wings unfold after emergence of the pupae etc.

[@gabriellelanee1472]

Wonderful footage! Really captured the beauty of these little guys! I typically am not to fond of ity bit insects especially with flight capability 🙈 but this video definitely changed my perspective 😍🦋🐛 Lovely!

[@jocelynerskine-kellie226]

[@anderslangoks3813]

Really beautiful work. Thanks for posting these videos.

[@deniseboulet-dunn9069]

Fascinated by the Monarch I planted «Asclepias» in our back yard and had three births before my eyes. Unfortunately one was handicaped and cannot fly normaly with abnormal wings. It remains quite safely under my care in the flowers. Here in Southern California where I do welcome thoughts from Cracovia. Funny for me as my French grand daughter just arrived in this beautiful town to start her career. Best from Hemet, CA. I will try to add some pictures below.

[@mothdoc1909]

Grace Song check out insect classifieds, while there are potential scammers (so be careful) it gives you a much wider range than most other websites. There's livestock and dead stock there, I've gotten 2 calleta silk moth cocoons, 3 promethea moth cocoons, and 3 automeris metzli (look them up they're beautiful.) I have seen the species of moth in the vid being sold on insect classifieds too!

[@groszek13you]

@FLCLnTVBOY You can see that the pupa is changing in color from light green to deep brown. Simply chitin is hardening preparing tight house for a winter time. After a few weeks or even eight months (depending on the geographical region) the chitin breaks releasing the buterfly.

[@mrdavesmagic]

[@Miguel-so4ql]

Most of moths don't turn into pupae like that ,moths Just Dig a hole on ground and turn into pupae or makes Silk cocoons,most of buterfllies make chrysalis

1) After hatching, caterpillar eats its own eggshell. 2) Then, it turns to eat leaves. 3) It moults, then eats its own moult...(here, was it doing so?) 4) 14:07 WHAT!!! O_O Did this caterpillar get so greedy it turned to eating flowers? O_O

[@Andrina_Dsouza]

Now I'm wondering if at 14:07 they were actual flowers or just buds...

[@lpsp442]

At 18:10 the abdomen of the chrysalis is visibly translucent, and you can see what appear to be granules under the surface of the outer layer. What are these? The creature can wriggle so it possesses muscles still, are those other internal organs that have dissolved?

[@groszek13you]

+Scrath Folchester Hi! The tissue pupae, directly after the final instar are formed, as can be seen clearly white and regular cells that are lipids. Regards, Adam

[@lpsp442]

Thanks for the speedy answer! I'd've responded sooner if my notifications worked. Terms for me to google

[@carlmagz5137]

that caterpillar has a antena on his neck and in his tail

[@groszek13you]

Yes, it is typical for a big number of caterpillars, however, it may vary in different stages of the larval form. Regards, Adam

[@xx_shelby_the_weirdo_xx5564]

Looks like a spider

[@marcidbluepurifiedwater-sa6542]

why did it turn into a crysalise?I thought moths are suppose to make a silk cocoon =T

[@Miguel-so4ql]

Not ALL moths do Silk cocoons, inside the silk cocoons have the pupae ,that moth don't turned into chrysalis It turned into pupae, chrysalis normaly stay up side down on a leaf o stick "im Brazilian and i don't know how to whrite some things"

[@mothdoc1909]

As novas cristal gems you're doing a good job, learning a different language is hard. Chrysalids are also different from pupae in how they look, pupa are all dull and brown whilst chrysalids can be much prettier/decorated.

Kara, Sorry for the inconvenience. Next edition of the film will be voicing with natural sounds. Regards, Adam

[@karahost7217]

I believe there has been a mistake. I did not create this video or anything. maybe I commented on it a while back? It seems right up my alley but I have nothing to do with this video. Sorry about that.

[@Reloecc]

Kara Host uh oh? we all know you did not create it. I suggested you to play own music. And Mr. Adam "promised" you the natural sounds in next edition. Your last comment is misleading..

I promise you will find them to be rather strikingly beautiful... stop hating them, they are a vitally import and necessary part of our rapidly deteriorating natural world... give 'em a chance and you may find yourself falling in love with them, just like I did.
