Cocoon5
  • What's Inside a Caterpillar Cocoon? (fbmarketplace.org)
  • In order to cocoon, a caterpillar literally has to allow itself to dissolve into GOO. (thejoyousparent.com)
  • And then the caterpillar forms a cocoon and after some time out comes a pretty butterfly. (windforwings.com)
  • After hatching from their eggs, caterpillars pass through 4-5 instars (stages between molts) before they pupate in a cocoon. (medscape.com)
  • He previously published the poem Isolation Cocoon, May 2020-After Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream ( https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/11/20-2993_article ). (cdc.gov)
Hairs8
  • These scales give butterfly wings their colour: they are pigmented with melanins that give them blacks and browns, as well as uric acid derivatives and flavones that give them yellows, but many of the blues, greens, reds and iridescent colours are created by structural coloration produced by the micro-structures of the scales and hairs. (wikipedia.org)
  • Below are symptoms of exposure to caterpillar hairs in different parts of the body. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Remove irritating caterpillar hairs. (medlineplus.gov)
  • If the caterpillar was on your skin, put sticky tape (such as duct or masking tape) where the hairs are, then pull it off. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Get medical care if you breathe in caterpillar hairs. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Erucism (caterpillar dermatitis) is characterized by a localized, pruritic, maculopapular contact dermatitis and urticaria, and follows contact with toxic hairs, spines, or hemolymph, either directly or following aerosolization. (medscape.com)
