Hairnet revisited - Climacia

Deep Fork Wildlife Refuge, Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, USA
July 9, 2007
Size: aprox. 6mm

This is the second one of these I have seen, I have seen 4 in all. The first one I posted a while back.
The second photo shows that the inner cocoon which was opaque is becomming transparent, and you can see a dark object inside.
This is easer to see in the reflection.

No. Guesses have been weevil, spider and moth.

I am still waiting, I do not know how long this should take. There have been no changes to the cocoon.

Not yet. It still looks the same, just as fresh.
