Darvesh, I don't know how those are chosen. I posted this back in October so I'm not sure if they prefer more recent photos.
Thanks for all the comments everyone!
Wow. Looks like we all did that at the same time.
It is a sphinx moth (family Sphingidae) cocoon. They bury themselves down in leaf litter for the winter and emerge in the spring. Not sure of the species. Good find!
Great photo Ann! I'm originally from Scranton so I look forward to seeing more 'photos from home'. Thanks for posting!
Craig they are indeed a pain to photograph... especially when laying on a forest floor in Florida
Thanks for the speedy ID Eric!
Thanks Mich!
