Pieris brassicae caterpillar cacoon - Follow up
Still hasn't hatched, but the cool thing i've discovered was worth writing about and taking some pics.
Sooo... appearantly if one touches the cacoon - the larva inside'll moves its tail - look 😳
In those last 3 pics u can actualy see the different angels of the cacoon tail after i touched it a bit.
I think its a defense instinct to scare away predetores.
Enjoy 😎
Hope you manage to get a photo when it breaks out. Do you know what species it is?
Eiwww! How do you even touch that :D
Hehe with a little stick 😂😂

STOPYup I'd love to see it too
Ha ha! I can't imagine that the little swish of the tail would scare away predators.
Cool that you captured it on camera tho.
Tnx man
