So, a little background info on me, I'm an entomologist, so I study insects. Moths, butterflies, beetles, bees, you name it, I study it. Someone from my church had given me a cocoon of a moth like two months ago and you will NEVER believe what happened. It hatched into a beautiful and huge moth! It's called a Cecropia moth, and the moth is a he. His wingspan is six inches and he's absolutely gigantic! Here are some pictures!
