Episode number 6 of Series “Kip and David”.
David is called by his elfin friend Kip to look at a fascinating spiky caterpillar. They watch as it spins its cup-shaped cocoon and observe a spider forming its web to trap unwary insects. They build a cage for the cocoon and later see the newly emerged moth. Music by Nancy Tow. Narrated by Roy Dunlop.
