While I was tending to the mango tree in front of my house, I suddenly found a cocoon attached to a mango leaf. At first, I didn't know what kind of cocoon it was, but after searching on Google, I discovered it was a black-spotted orange moth. This moth is not very large, so the cocoon is also relatively small. Out of curiosity, I tried to hold it, and it turned out that the cocoon was attached very firmly to the leaf, so it wouldn't come off even in strong winds. What made me really like this cocoon is its unique shape, which made me interested in photographing it.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some pictures of this cocoon here.
