We have #leech #cocoons!
The hard work of @pegah-kalatehjari.bsky.social already paying off. Soon to come, baby leeches @dome-vienna.bsky.social

A luminous green caterpillar with a spiky tail horn is covered with the cocoons of parasitic wasps that have fed internally before emerging and spilling a cocoon attached to their host's back. Openings near the tops of the cocoons reveal that the adult wasps have emerged.
A luminous green caterpillar with a spiky tail horn is covered with the cocoons of parasitic wasps that have fed internally before emerging and spilling a cocoon attached to their host's back. Openings near the tops of some cocoons reveal that the adult wasps have emerged. The caterpillar is hanging from the leaf of a paw paw tree.
A brown inchworm caterpillar grips a leaf with its rear legs while a silken thread supports the head as it hangs upside-down. Half-a-dozen parasitic wasp cocoons dangle from the back of the caterpillar.
A crane fly with banded brown/tan banded legs and a yellow abdomen dangles from the leaf of a forest plant. Pseudoscorpions are attached near a joint on one meso- and one metathorasic leg. They use the fly to harmlessly carry them over the landscape (this phenomenon is called Phoresy).

Released the last #monarchbutterfly. Only found 3 #caterpillars this year. This one took off and came back to the garden. Guess it’s not ready to continue its journey, yet.

Is it possible for spider egg sacs to contain antimicrobial factors? Why is answering this question so important and urgent? – All of this is covered in my latest scientific article.

A waxing Gibbous moon peeking through tree branches with a cornflower blue sky in the background.
The sun high in the sky, creating a halo of color around it.
A cocoon on the garden fence. (Think maybe a praying mantis)

62 overwintering Luna moth (Actias Luna) cocoons spread out on a dark wooden table.
Kai, a brown queer woman, with long brown hair and brown eyes smiles from the open door of a butterfly enclosure, with her hand on her chin. A green Luna moth is above her eyes on the mesh of the enclosure.
Following on from finding a Toadflax Brocade cocoon on the house wall, I’ve found another one. And here it is, on the same mortar course and around a metre along.

I can tell by the response times and refresh times that @bsky.app is getting another spike... possibly conservatively.
Logging off now to do my part in making way for the incoming #cocoons... wonder what they'll hatch into? :)
oouuuh can we have twitter circles and call them…. #cocoons
