Mine is left over from last year, don't know if the babies got frozen or not, but it is exactly like one that did hatch and in the same vicinity. I will be watching to see what yours turns out to be. Hope it is a cool moth.<BR/>FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-89715151390059976042009-02-14T09:08:00.000-05:002009-02-14T09:08:00.000-05:00I was just at a butterfly house and had been looki...I was just at a butterfly house and had been looking up a very large moth that I saw there.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you have a polyphemus moth cocoon? <BR/><BR/>http://www.ag.auburn.edu/enpl/bulletins/polyphemus/photo2.htm<BR/><BR/>My best guess.<BR/>CameronF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-29071799991293944912009-02-13T22:23:00.000-05:002009-02-13T22:23:00.000-05:00Lisa, this is definately larger than those measure...Lisa, this is definately larger than those measurements, though being about a dozen feet up, size could be misconstrued. <BR/>Tina, I am not sure whether praying mantis are in your area.

One of the other folks in the garden yesterday questioned whether it was a Lunar moth's cocoon. The size of the object appeared to be about the size of a small egg. We are thinking somewhere in those directions.

The cocoon is big. Check it out on the web and compare pictures. They can be found in your area. Also hummingbirds use spider webs to make their nest.<BR/>Debbie<BR/>Garden Thyme with the Creative GardenerDebbie https://www.blogger.com/profile/08052794321516746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-79928452624435160422009-02-13T09:51:00.000-05:002009-02-13T09:51:00.000-05:00How cool is that Janet!
