{"product_id":"empty-silk-moth-cocoon","title":"Empty Silk Moth Cocoon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an \u003cstrong\u003eempty silk moth cocoon\u003c\/strong\u003e, the natural shell left behind after a wild Saturniidae moth has already hatched and flown away - there's nothing alive inside, no pupa, no eggs, completely empty and safe to handle. Choose your species below: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAntheraea mylitta\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAttacus atlas\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eArgema mimosae\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, each with its own distinct shape, texture and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery cocoon that leaves our shop is handled and checked by hand in our small workshop in Central Europe, cocoon by cocoon, before it gets packed up. Since these are natural specimens and not manufactured items, size and shape vary slightly from piece to piece - that's part of what makes each one interesting to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese make a great addition to an entomology or natural history collection, and they work just as well as a standalone art piece, framed on their own or as part of a resin or shadow box project. A fun fact worth knowing: Saturniidae moths are wild silk moths, so the cocoon itself is pure silk, spun the exact same way as the silk used in textiles, just never harvested for that purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EntomoBoxes","offers":[{"title":"Antheraea mylitta","offer_id":54137033294152,"sku":"SM57","price":3.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Attacus atlas","offer_id":54137035489608,"sku":"SM58","price":3.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Argema mimosae","offer_id":54137035522376,"sku":"SM59","price":3.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2567\/8408\/files\/antheraea-mylitta-cocoon.png?v=1790347202","url":"https:\/\/entomoboxes.com\/products\/empty-silk-moth-cocoon","provider":"EntomoBoxes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
