Check out this amazing image of am urodid moth cocoon. According to entomologist and Amazon explorer Phil Torres, It has a really beautiful woven lattice structure that hangs about a foot below a leaf on a thin silk string.

This is an unusual structure because the pupa, resting inside the cocoon, seems fairly exposed to the elements.
