My daughter brought home a cocoon a few weeks ago and we noticed last night it has a crack in the head of the hard shell. It has an antenna sticking out too. But it's completely still now wwith just a little part of its head emerging. How long after the cocoon starts to open does it usually take to fully emerge? She has it in a bug catching plastic container. I suggested she put fresh leaves to gelp entice it to keep coming. Anyone know how much time it takes from the time it starts to break open until its completely out?
