Actias dubernardi, Chinese Luna Moth.
The film shows details of the full development of this moth. I strongly recommend watching the movie on a TV screen 4K.
Thank you, Adam

I feel we are so fortunate that there are passionate people out there willing to not only capture but also share these wonderful feats of nature that many of us would never have known about. The cinematography is truly stunning considering when these little caterpillars are born they are so incredibly tiny (5-10mm x 0.5mm) plus it takes a lot of patience to actually capture the moment when they moult.

[@arch_imedes7108]

Honestly this is almost too good to be true and I love it. This is footage worthy of being featured in some documentaries on National Geographic or BBC. Speaking from Poland as well, excellent job.

In my opinion, this species is one of nature's most profound examples of the beauty it offers!!! Luna moths are the rare gems of the winged insect world, closely partnered by some mantis species... Really amazing!!!!

[@tjtheentertainer9376]

Megix Cosmix I agree! I love how with each molting, the caterpillar has a different body coloration. It makes them very pretty even before their metamorphosis

Spectacular! Thank you Adam for filming this and allowing Nature to tell her own mesmerizing story. The birdsong and absence of human narration added to the unfolding beauty and magic.

[@darbalmira]

Really enjoy watching your moth metamorphosis videos! Telling others about them. Perhaps you can share with the viewer: Your camera and basic settings would be good to learn about. Also, if possible the scientific names of the food plants for each moth. And their territorial distribution. Of course I can research such things on the internet, but I’m sure all your viewers would appreciate learning directly from the presentation. Thank you so much for all the amazing work you’re doing!

[@czarinagarcia4]

I truly believe that the uglier or creepier looking the caterpillar looks the complete opposite happens when it turns into a moth or butterfly 😊
