Birth of a Caterpillar
19596 minFilm: Documentary
A young caterpillar breaks from the egg, eats the shell, and begins the side-to-side movement of its head which accompanies the extrusion of its silken thread. Since the film is made to illustrate the teacher's lesson it has no commentary but a brief introductory text.
