Hi again Kathy,
Thanks for the follow-up letter, and it brings up an interesting possibility. Luna Moth Cocoons are nearly always found on the ground, but we have heard that sometimes they remain attached to trees. The Luna Cocoon looks very similar to the Polyphemus Cocoon. Perhaps, just maybe, your cocoon is a Luna Moth Cocoon.
