My son found a caterpillar in our back yard, we let him put it in a jar with lots of leaves and the next day it was in a I guess cocoon. I remember it had a few furry spots on the back, I think it was orange & black and it had two horns.
If you have any idea please let me know.
Thanks, Corissa
Tiger Moth Cocoon
Hi Corissa,
This is definitely a moth cocoon. WE believe this is a Tiger Moth Cocoon. The construction incorporating the hairs of the Wooley Bear Caterpillars is consistent with the cocoon of a Tiger Moth.
