I was clipping some low suckers from a Maple tree and after having them in my hand a few minutes I glanced down and saw what appeared to be a chrysalis or cocoon of some sort. It was definately wiggling so I knew it was alive.
I took it in and put it in one of my Gladware cages planning to forget it. The next morning it was at the top of the cage!! I got fresh leaves and put them in the cage since it was moving around. The next afternoon it was back down eating on the leaves!
