Un capullo

My last two atlas moths have emerged from their cocoons. They are beautiful and absolutely fascinating.
Can you see the snake head markings on the tip of each forewing? They are there to deter potential predators, which I think is pretty neat.
They are absolutely gorgeous, and I am so glad that they have all hatched safely. Unfortunately, I think these two are both female so it looks like I won't be getting any fertile eggs.
One damaged it's hind wing a little when it flew into one of my orchids. It is the only one that has shown any interest in flying and has been having short (approximately 2 min) flights around my room every evening. Finding a new place to lay eggs each time.
CATB invited me in for soundcheck in Portland and I got this recording of Van doing an improv mashup with The Neighbourhood lyrics!
