The forest tent caterpillar cocoon is a fascinating sight to behold. This silken structure is the home of the forest tent caterpillar during its pupal stage. The cocoon is made of a single strand of silk that is spun around the caterpillar's body. It is typically oval in shape and about 1 inch long.
The forest tent caterpillar is a native of North America. It is a defoliator, which means that it eats the leaves of trees. The caterpillars can cause significant damage to forests, especially if they are present in large numbers.
