Thanks for the information … now let’s hope for an early spring so we can start searching!

I have been keeping an eye out for them on our land. Forests within a few miles of here have been deforested by the moths. I only hope our woods survive because we are surrounded by farmlands. Interesting post–I will be out looking for cocoons!

Lovely pictures and info, I have no clue what type of cocoons you have, I learn from you! :)

Now I have some more interesting things to look for the next time I’m out hiking in the woods.

We found a similar cocoon years ago and kept it on our back porch–one day we woke to find her, fully fanning her wings on the back screen door. She was a lovely cecropia.

I do agreee with swamp4me that it does look like one of the Silkmoth’s but not familiar enough with a cecropia to know if it’s that species of moth!
