The cecropia moth is even larger — some are six inches across — and patterned like a medieval tapestry.

One day a fine-looking Cecropia Moth came out of her chrysalis and clung to the nearest twig while her wings grew and dried and flattened.

Perhaps the most interesting of these caterpillars are the big native silk-worms, like those of the cecropia moth, the luna moth, the polyphemus moth, or the promethia moth.

Now take off the hairs, elongating and thinning out the tubercles, and make up the loss by the increased size of the worm, and we have the caterpillar of our common Cecropia moth.

Have you ever watched a cecropia moth when it crawls out of its dull gray prison of chrysalis?
