Bucculatrix sp. Cocoon Bucculatrix moths are named "Ribbed Cocoon-Making Moths", and this is a great example of that. I'm going to try to grab some better shots of these cocoons found on my front porch, but their location makes it difficult to get a good angle! I think I might put a sheet of black paper behind it so I can get a better view? Geotagged,Spring,United States Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

    How cool! Reminds me of Silkhinge:


    For the angle, can you use a mirror, perhaps?     Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

      Ferdy, that might work. I don't think I have a handheld mirror here at home though :/ I may have to get creative. Posted 4 years ago

      <3 You can guess who found these tiny structures on our porch. The guy with the amazing eyesight. I'm so jealous of all of the detail he can see! Posted 4 years ago
