Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The kids found this caterpillar last fall and brought it inside to observe. It immediately started making a cocoon, so we kept it, expecting it to emerge in a few weeks. But it wintered over, and just emerged this evening. We missed the event, but found it in the stick in the jar, so we transferred it to the butterfly house. We could not find any moth like it, Nor could we find a caterpillar like it when we first got it.
