This female Buckmoth (Hemileuca maia) rest after mating, while strange movements in her abdomen appear to "stir" things. It's not clear what's happening but it's sure weird! This is another shot, perhaps a little clearer closup. Much more butterfly/moth video, photography and life cycle studies available free to the public at HTTP://jcmdi.com, and the Hi-Res version of this video is available on DVD at http://technician.jcmdi.com/lepdvd01/lepdvd01.html for details.
