What a beauty! I am reminded that they have no digestive system, they don’t eat, so they only live a max of about 2 weeks as a moth, I understand. However, they do spend about 11 months as a caterpillar and all that other life cycle stuff prior to what we see in the video.
I believe as a caterpillar they look like this…
