Follow the growth of the Chinese Luna Moth (Actias dubernardi) from egg, to caterpillar, to cocoon, to adult. This calmly-paced, 16-minute video covers approximately 70–85 days of development, filmed by insect YouTuber Adam Grochowalski. Both the bright pink and yellow male and pale green female of the species are shown.
Next, watch the time lapse of the life cycle of the silkworm, a monarch butterfly metamorphosis, hawk moths and the art of staying stable, and the camouflage of a leaf-like moth.
