Video by joelsartore | Inside a cocoon that’s just inches in length, one of the most incredible transformations in the animal kingdom takes place. The biochemistry of the caterpillar concealed inside is being completely rewritten, as its body is broken down and reconstructed into its adult form. This Madagascar moon moth may not look like much now, but when it emerges from its cocoon and dries its wings, it will claim its title as one of the largest moths in the world, with an impressive eight-inch (20 cm) wingspan.
