Butterflyes are, according to me, one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet. This was wonderful to see, thanks a lot for sharing it!

Some giant silkmoths (6" wingspan) are all crammed into a 1.5" cocoon - it's amazing to see a huge moth emerge from such a small package!

Glad you like 'em. Have you seen all my other ones? There are something like 50+ Lep videos, and a lot of them are butterfly/moth wing expansions. Just click the "more from this user" link, or check out my profile. :-)
