Cecropia Moth Life Cycle
The cecropia moth is the largest and one of the most beautiful moths in North America. It is a nocturnal creature, therefore most people are unaware of its existence or its unusual anatomical feature--it has no digestive system since it does not eat. Our K-2 playground will incorporate the cecropia life cycle into our design by incorporating custom caterpillar tunnel, cocoon cargo net climber, and overhead moth sunscreen structures into the playground (see Phase 3 plan).
