Nice, close-up view of the animal behavior, John. I like the way you captured the cocoon and activity.

Nice tight look at this cat. I wouldn't have recognized the cocoon if you hadn't pointed it out.

very nice portrait

I'd also, love to see the entire caterpillar......looks so pretty. I've never seen one of these before, and I love the blue, green and yellow together

The fact, that he's making his cocoon is icing on the cake!
