I have a C. Modoc that has a cocoon that started to “hatch” a few days ago. At this point, most of the head is out and I see the antenna moving, but it’s still about 95% of the way in the cocoon. Is this normal?

I would say no. I also have a colony of this species currently with two nanitics. They hatched in a few hours.

Well if it’s alive and moving it’s antennae, maybe it was opened too early, survived, and is now partially exposed and close to hatching out?
