  1. This tiny cage is a moth’s nursery

    In the Amazon, a caterpillar spins a silk cocoon with open mesh instead of solid walls. It hangs from a leaf on a long silk cord.

  2. It builds the cage from the inside

    The caterpillar lowers itself on silk, then spins rings joined by cross threads. Over about four days, a loose lattice takes shape around it.
