Is this for real??
A friend posted this on Facebook. I know there are caterpillars that use twigs and leaves to make their cocoon. I am just totally amazed that one caterpillar is helping the other to make its rock cocoon!!

It looks to me that the rocks started sticking to the cocoon while it was being spun.
