9:01 the face so cute! I didn't think moths were so freaking cute

[@lil_weasel219]

oh they generally look like pokemons, especially the hairy ones

Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this. 3 days ago I was busy pulling up weeds in the field when I thought I saw a bird on the grass in our neighbours field. Yet it did not really look like a bird. I walked down and was astonished to see it was a moth ! I put my hand behind the grass stem and found the wings went way past my hand. I went back to the weeding but kept going back for another look. I had made a track through the long grass so I was able to show my husband. Though his wings were not fully open by then. It did not take me long to find out what I had seen. For once I did admit to the helpfulness of a computer :) i live near Pau in the S. W. France. When we first arrived there were so many butterflies and moths Seeing a swallow tail would be almost a daily treat. In the garden we have an old silk tree, and we watched what we thought were bats flying around the top yet they could not have been. I now realize that it must have been this beautiful moth. I saw one swallowtail this year, the first time for 8 years. The caterpillars were always seen on the wild fennel. I planted many plants and shrubs to encourage wild life, but there is no where near the number as before, also birds. Our neighbours farms have both gone bio and I keep hoping that things will change. It is heartbreaking to thing that these exquisit moths only live for a week. I shall treasure this memory. Thank you again.

Who can riddle the beating Of the heart of a caterpillar? In this as in all other things, Mystery's hand's on the tiller.

Thanks Joe, Adam

[@rogervanzandvoort]

very, very nice movies Adam.

Hello Adam, Again you got an exceptional documentation of the metamorphosis of another butterfly specie. The curling movements of the caterpillar, is it done in order to straighten the bristles? Thanks for sharing Rüdiger

[@groszek13you]

Hallo Rüdiger. I observed the phenomena of rotation of the caterpillar body directly after moulting. Also for Arcta caja, most saturniids etc. Yes, you are right. I also think that it is also for straighten the bristels, but maybe it can remove the debris remains of the moult in such complex shape of the body. I will try to observe the phenomena on the other species. Thank you that you noticed this interesting moment. Regards from sunny morning in Krakow, Adam

[@jingwenjiang80]

Very exciting video, what kind of filming equipment did you use?

[@jeremybong7238]

Was the caterpillar feeding on a mulberry tree?

[@groszek13you]

Hi Jeremy, No, the Saturnia pyri caterpillars feed on pear, plum, cherry and mirabelle tree leaves. Regars! Adam

Poza tym fajne filmy widać , że zostały w nie szas i ciężka praca :)

[@groszek13you]

Pan Pytko Dziękuję, Adam

[@panpytko1178]

Witam mam problem otóż wczorajszego wieczoru poszedłem na spacer i na pewnym iglastym drzewku (któremu się nie przyjżałem więc nie wiem co to było) znalazłem dwie piękne gąsienice . Zielone z białym paskiem lecącym wzdłuż ciała i czarnymi oraz pomarańczowymi plamkamk na ciele , rozmiar ok.1,5-2 cm jak się wyciągnie. I tu zaczyna się problem niewiem co to za gatunek w necie nie mogę znaleźć całe zielsko które im daję ignorują, jedna prubuje tylko uciec a druga cały czs sobie leży i nic nie robi a z tego co wiem to powinny cały czas jeść dodam , że raz się powiecmy to "pobiły". Może ktoś wie co to za gatunek i czym się żywi będę wdzięczny. Druga sprawa trzymam je w zamkniętym słoiku co jakiś czas otwieram by się wywietrzyło ale nie wiem czy powinno być im mokro wilgotno czy tylko w sucho , internet jest podzielony . Właściwe proszę o każdą radę i pomoc ponieważ nie chce ich stracić lub im zaszkodzić a jest to jedyny zwierzaczek na którego mogę sobie pozwolić finansowo i zważając na tolerancję współmieszkańców domu. Za każdą pomoc z góry dziękuję .

[@groszek13you]

Pan Pytko Szanowny Panie, z opisu nic nie wynika i w ten sposób nikt Panu nie rozpozna gatunku. Proszę im podać tą roślinę, na której je Pan znalazł. Pozdrawiam, Adam

[@panpytko1178]

Adam Grochowalski za późno musiałem je wypuścić. Wyglądły marnie a ja nie chciałem mieć ich na sumienu wypuściłem je tam gdzie zabrałem czyli na sosnę czarną.

[@itme8622]

​@@panpytko1178 I'm so sorry for your losses. May they rest in peace. bardzo przepraszam za twoje straty. Niech spoczywają w pokoju.

Outstanding work! We would like to feature your film in: naturedocumentaries.org/

[@groszek13you]

Nature Documentaries. Hello! This is my great pleasure to say YES. Many thank you for watching my film on Saturnia pyri and thank you for your willingness to place it on your marvellous Nature web page. Regards from Krakow, Adam

[@NatureDocumentaries]

I filmed a 3rd instar of this most magnificent moth dwelling in an endemic oriental gum tree (Liquidambar orientalis) relic forest in Fethiye, Turkey. Your film will be very informative paired with it as separate observations.
