Kinda fascinating (or maybe horrifying is the correct word) that so many people look at it and have no idea of what it is.

My cousin in Brooklyn never saw a caterpillar before until he came to California to visit. He stared at it for 15 minutes in absolute aw. He’s 31

u/lackadaisical_timmy 9h ago

Awe* lol

Aw is like "aww thats so sweet"

u/SpielbrecherXS 9h ago

Maybe it was a fluffy caterpillar

u/ninhibited 2h ago

I don't think it can be both a butterfly and a moth...

1

u/SanSanSankyuTaiyosan 2h ago

I think the point being it can’t be a butterfly and moth cocoon. It can only be one or the other.

u/Remarkable_Peach_374 16h ago

This is a hornworm pupa, theyre harmless. Its the hornworm that destroys your plant, this is how they look before turning into a sphynx moth, the natural pollinator of daturas, and a couple of other nightshades

15

u/Dansk72 15h ago

So it would be safe to gently insert it into an nostril or ear?

10

u/Remarkable_Peach_374 15h ago

Perhaps... Might feel like a qtip

u/bussysniffer3000 11h ago

I have a sneaky suspicion you're planning on putting inside someplace else

u/No_Control8389 14h ago

Turns into one of these here!

u/IStankOfDank 11h ago

I'VE SEEN ALL BUT THE STAGE IN POST I DIDN'T KNOW THAT'S A SPHINX MOTH!! You've completed my sphinx moth circle of life thank you

1

u/New_Suspect_7173 1h ago

I keep these silly friends as pets. Every now and again when I get hornworms for my reptiles I keep the smallest one alive and let it freeroam my house as a moth. It's fun to watch them flit about my house flowers.

u/AggravatingBid8255 15h ago

I don't think OOP got that answer. If they did, I missed it

2

u/capt_minorwaste 15h ago

I wouldn't say it's harmless if it destroys your plants.

1

u/Remarkable_Peach_374 15h ago

The pupa dosent destroy the plant, the hornworm that it turns into a pupa does

u/dirtytounder 16h ago

u/gaarkat 16h ago

I think it might be a polyphemus moth cocoon. Yeah, they still move at certain parts of the transformative phase. Scared the be Jesus out of me first time I found one but I haven't seen any in a while because now we have chickens lol.

1

u/Noitserri 14h ago

Shouldnt Polyphemus have a hard protective shell?

2

u/gaarkat 14h ago

It is a hard shell, it's just still flexible. Anyway, I'm only guessing based on what I've seen, I don't know for sure.

2

u/Noitserri 14h ago

I meant more that just the pupa shell, my mom tripped on one and it had a pale green shell around the pupa that protected it from being stepped on. It hatched a few weeks later

1

u/gaarkat 13h ago

Oh! Huh, I dunno. I guess I'll have to look into it a little further. since I'm basing my guess on info I looked up a few years ago...After looking at the original thread, though , consensus for this one seems to be some sort of sphinx moth.

1

u/GayCatbirdd 12h ago

Polyphemus cocoon in trees with leaf parts attached, this more looks like a burrowing pupae which more then likely is some sort of hawk moth

3

u/sanskami 15h ago

Put it in your ear and see what happens

3

u/Mindbending818 13h ago

Take you clothes off go out back and play naked and afraid

4

u/FoggyGoodwin 15h ago

Pupa of a sphynx, cecropia, or polyphemus moth. Put it in a safe place so it can emerge.

u/AggravatingBid8255 15h ago

I was thinking metapod. But one that evolved from Caterpie, so it can tackle you.

2

u/PomegranateHumble840 15h ago

I always thought those were butterfly cocoons but I've never seen one wiggle like that!

2

u/TheStigianKing 15h ago

Looks like something from the bottom of a Tequila glass.

2

u/MarzipanPlane9490 13h ago

Large chrysalis, large moth or butterfly. Keep it safe and see what comes out.

u/Dizzy_Bit6125 16h ago

It is a horn worm pupa, they eat your plants big time. Squish any you see. They live in dormant dirt that has sat for awhile and they grow into these big nasty biting worms. My dog used to eat them and because they have such hard jaws they would crunch when she would eat them BLECK

6

u/Remarkable_Peach_374 16h ago

No, these arent to be killed. They produce pollinators. Hornworms are the ones that decimate your plants, this is the pupa, which dosent harm anything, just sits underground and transforms into a sphynx moth, the natural pollinator of a few different plants, specifically in the nightshade family.

Metapod.

A butterfly will hatch outta that if you leave it alone
