Spinning a cocoon! You can still see the caterpillar in it!

The caterpillars have eaten up all the leaves of a tree, when they, who should be short sighted, rushed up and down all the branches and the trunk until they realized there is not a leaf left there. What should the one who needs more food do? Panicked? They were so smart that they acrobatted from a top of a twig to another twig of another tree next to the tree. They ate to their content on a new tree all right! Fully fed, the caterpillars stayed still resting for some time. And then they started spinning. When some began spinning, you find some others had finished spinning already, hiding cocoons in twigs with thick leaves.
