Description: | (nr) Santa Cruz Bolivia A remarkable cooon made from caterpillar secretion found suspended from thorny tree bark. It is surmised that this protects the chrysalis from predation by ants. The flask shape has a ready-made opening to allow the moth to escape after emergence. It had already left when cocoon was found so do not know what the moth looked like. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ARTHINSECT : LEPIDOPTERA : URODIDAE : YPONOMEUTIDAE (SYN.) : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
