Well that gives me a little hope then :) Thanks!
Nice to here! Many types of moths actually take several months before they emerge. They usually emerge at dawn or dusk.
Hi there J! Thank you, I have actually bought it home to see what emerges. It is one of three that I have. The other 2 I've been waiting for, for months now so I'm afraid they have expired :( I hope I have better luck with this one!
Nice! Looks like a sphinx moth cocoon. If you have the time, it would be nice to see if you could find out what emerges! I like the name of the tree, too! :)
