Moth
I'm sure those who read that title probably know where this is going XD Yeah, my caterpillar came out of its cacoon and is now a moth. He was a big one like I predicted. Still not sure if he was a sphinx moth or not, but he's the biggest one I've had. His body was about an inch big, had a two inch wingspan. He was a pretty thing. I took pictures so I'll put them up on my world when I have the time. But I warn you, I'm no photographer so they might not be too good.

It was great. I just walked into my room where the jar was kept and right away see these HUGE black eyes staring at me. He was very fuzzy looking X3 I went out into my front yard and released him. It took him a while to get out of the jar. He kept flapping his wings and crawling around. Finally he caught a breeze and fluttered away. It was an awkward flight, but I think he was still drying/testing his wings.

Then later I went to clean out the container...I found this cool...I turned it upside down outside so the dirt and twigs would come out. A whole clump of dirt was stuck to the side. I look, and it's where the hole and cacoon was. Apparantly he did something to the surrounding dirt so it wouldn't cave in on him. I eventually pulled it out and found a protective plastic looking substance over the hole. I never knew they did that. I put it in a plastic bag and kept it.

And my back is completely fine now. Not sure what I did but I'm good.
