I get goose bumps just thinking about it.

I liked the lepidoptera photos on your journal, too. I’ve been raising domesticated and wild silkmoths since 2001; they’re such beautiful creatures!

I take it that you’ll be keeping an eye on that cocoon now? It would be amazing to see one of those beautiful moths emerging.

(I wonder how my family will feel about a cocoon in the crisper! Ha ha…)

Can you go back and find the cocoon?
It would be neat to see it emerge–those giant silkworm moths are spectacular!
