It lives in , where it hides underneath large leaves and inside the gaps of tree branches. Additionally, it camouflages itself by attaching dead leaves to its body. As its cells create energy for Evolution, the inside of the cocoon becomes hot. Cracks start to form in its casing when Evolution is near.
