I saw this yesterday. I think it's the Eight-Spotted Forrester Moth.

One of the two Polyphemus cocoons so far. They're pretty well hidden, for the most part. All wrapped up in leaves! Oh, while taking a walk today, I spotted a few eggs on a Hop Tree. Not my tree, but I took them home. Looks like GST eggs. Hope they hatch!
Nice! Linda!That is some cocoon!
Love the stuff everyone is sharing...
Maybe we should start another thread. BRB after I dig out a recent BF pic for it.
