Pupal Case

Thursday, February 11, 2010


I covered my tubular weaving in gut. It reminds me of a cocoon - the empty pupal case left behind after emergence.
Insects that pupate in a cocoon must escape from it, and they do this by either cutting their way out or secreting fluids that soften the cocoon.
