    I took a timelapse of a monarch emerging from its chrysalis during a science class I teach. One of my students would regularly bring in caterpillars so we could watch them turn into butterflies and then release them. Pretty amazing to watch!

  4. Time lapse transformation of caterpillar to chrysalis03:17

    Time lapse transformation of caterpillar to chrysalis

    The transformation of a Monarch caterpillar into a chrysalis is a fascinating process called metamorphosis, during which the caterpillar undergoes major changes to become a butterfly. Upon finding a suitable spot, the caterpillar spins a silk pad using a special gland near its mouth. This pad serves as an anchor. After creating the silk pad, the caterpillar attaches itself by its last pair of prolegs and hangs downwards in a J shape. This is a resting phase while it prepares for the next dramatic changes. As the caterpillar hangs, its skin splits at the back of the head and is gradually shrugged off upward, revealing a green case underneath—this is the chrysalis. As the old skin is completely shed, the chrysalis hardens and takes on a more jade-like color, with golden spots around it. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar completely transforms its body. This transformation includes digesting itself almost entirely to reform as a butterfly. This process takes about 10-14 days. The end of the transformation process is marked by the chrysalis becoming transparent, showing the black and orange colors of the butterfly within. When ready, the butterfly emerges, initially hanging from the split chrysalis to allow its wings to dry and harden after pumping them full of fluid. Once its wings are dry and hard, the Monarch butterfly is ready to fly off and start the cycle anew either by migrating or reproducing.

    These caterpillars are known as Orgyia leucostigma or commonly named the white-marked tussock moth caterpillar. These may look cute and fluffy but be aware of not touching their white hair on their backs. allergic reaction that can involve an itchy rash. The Department of Health also said its hairs are barbed and can be hard to get out of the skin. These caterpillars comes around in spring normally I was recording this Orgyia leucostigma with my iPhone 8 Plus camera, hatching from its egg and it’s the first time in my life I ever seen them hatch. This one was trying to eats way out and pushing. Not a lot of people mentioning this specific catipiller from other media’s and I do wanna share this as a awareness as well

    Cicada bug emerges from its cocoon

    Hello from Thailand! We usually hear these cicadas at least twice a day. They’re super loud and I’ve heard them throughout my life and I’ve seen the skeletons they leave behind very often but this is the first time both my auntie and I ever saw the process of skinning! (Probably not the right word for it). It was a really exciting moment for us. So exciting that we forgot about the food on the stove that got completely burnt. It was worth it!

  25. Caterpillar evolves into its cocoon 03:39

    Caterpillar evolves into its cocoon

    I set up a pollinator garden in our backyard and after a few weeks of seeing lots of Monarchs and Monarch eggs (but no monarch caterpillars), we brought an egg inside so we'd have a better chance of raising a caterpillar. After about 2 weeks the caterpillar grew from about the size of a pinhead to over 2 inches long and finally got ready to pupate (form the chrysalis). The chrysalis forming (which is what the video is) took about 2 minutes. It hardened over the next few hours and will stay like this until the butterfly is ready to emerge in about 10 days. In the wild, monarch eggs have a 2-5% chance of reaching the butterfly stage, while indoors it is over a 90% chance. Next year, I plan to raise many more indoors in order to do my part in saving the dwindling Monarch population. Green caterpillar puts itself inside its cocoon.
