Golden Baby

Check this amazingly rich gold cocoon...



Didn't meet the lucky guy in there, but he's surely got more than a silver spoon in his mouth!

where'd you find that cocoon?

Our garden in Nerul... didn't want to pluck it off the tree, someone else had already done it :(

hmmm hopefully that should be ok, right? So long as you keep the leaf in a safe place, the cocoon should survive, I'd think....but not sure BTW I wonder which caterpiller weaves golden cocoons!

I did a little bit of googling and found out there's one silk worm that weaves such cocoons, but it's found only in the Bodo areas of Assam :)
