Luna Moth - Rare SpecimenCocoon in Maryland
Please see attached photos! I would like to find out what’s inside the cocoon.
Thanks,
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
We believe this is a Luna Moth Cocoon, but it might be a Polyphemus Moth Cocoon. Both are Giant Silk Moths and form cocoon around leaves that dry and drop to the ground where they remain in the leaf litter until they hatch.
