--Boundary_(ID_RoF47yPoEKoBjRHHnFDrBw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT JUNE 7, 2008 - PHOTOS taken of an adult male CECROPIA MOTH that just "hatched" overnight from a cocoon that was found at Starr's Point earlier this Spring (April). In the large jar in which I kept the cocoon after Spring was well advanced, below the "hatched" cocoon and new moth was a puddle of thick, creamy-coloured LIQUID that looked a bit like the uric acid and feces mixture that comes from birds. Can anyone help with what that expelled fluid represents? (accumulated wastes from the caterpillar and pupa and metamorphosis?). We still have one more CECROPIA cocoon, from a caterpillar that was found by Jennifer Foster at Lower Blomidon in late summer of 2007 and then pupated and formed a cocoon in our yard in Wolfville.
