This could be from a Sci-Fi mutant insect invasion movie - but it's actually 100% nature! These are actual photos and video documenting the pupation process of the Velda Pine Moth (Coloradia velda), a member of the Saturniidae family of giant silk mo...ths. This pupation process normally happens a few inches underground, in a small chamber constructed in the soft earth by the caterpillar. After spending the winter in this underground cocoon chamber, it develops, emerges from the pupal case and claws its way to he surface. Once there, it expands its wings and begins the short (2-7 days) adult phase of its life where the primary function is reproduction. This is a great way to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (2:49)

Reporting in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, entomologists Daniel Rubinoff and Patrick Schmitz, of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, describes 12 new species of caterpillar (Hyposmocoma). These Hawaiian moth larvae can live thei...r lives completely submerged underwater or in bone-dry conditions. Rubinoff says he doesn't know of another animal that can pull this off.(2:43)

This WILD TV segment shows program host, Wali Collins and entomologist Mark Hostetler conducting an experiment on moths’ attraction to light. Moths use the moon to navigate at night, the reason they are attracted to outdoor artificial white lights. M...ark and Wali go to a dark spot at night and turn on a white light. Moths and other insects soon arrive and land on Wali near the light with one moth even beginning to lay eggs on Wali. At the end of the segment we also learn frogs and lizards are attracted to light; they know there will be insects around to eat. (4:10)

A male Saturnia albofasciata moth emerges from its cocoon in time lapse. The cocoon has been partially cut away to observe development and movement and doesn't seem to bother the moth. After he emerges he expands his wings by pumping a body fluid int...o them. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (1:11)

This amazing short video shows a female White-Streaked Silkmoth (Saturnia albofasciata) performing the first parts of her miraculous metamorphosis from caterpillar into adult moth. This cut-away view shows what nature normally hides from sight: the c...aterpillar changing into its pupal phase where it will wait until fall. If you look closely and/or freeze the video just after the skin is shed, you can make out the compressed form of the adult moth, with head, antennae and stubby wings outlined in the pupal case. What a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (1:05)

Here we see the original raw footage in both realtime and timelapse. A male Euryalus SIlkmoth (Hyalophora euryalus) struggles out of his cocoon, and then expands his wings. This moth species typically has a wingspan of about 4-5 inches across from wi...ngtip-to-wingtip, and is sometimes mistaken for a bat or small bird when encountered flying at night. What a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (2:11)
