Metamorphosis

When we were at Northfork with my parents two weeks ago, my dad found a cocoon on a tree he was cutting down, so we put it in a jar and took it home with us. The moth just came out yesterday. I was amazed at how much transformation took place after it came out of the cocoon. Look how small his wings are in the first picture and how large the body is . . . watch them change through the series of pictures.
