found this guy while digging through the tomentosa plant, sorry about the bad picture, but i notice it weaving a web around itself, think it os in the process of pupating.

some eggs found on the "turn in the wind" plant, quite certain it isnt a butterflies one, could be a moths, otherwise its some bug..

The cat in the process of forming a cocoon is some sort of Lymantriid (tussock moth).
