Hi Julie,

I’m so glad you enjoyed this story. Thanks for sharing a note about the cocoon you found. It’s so special to have these moths around!

Reading this article, having just brought in a cocoon. Beautiful read!
I’ve just written to my grandson in Illinois about finding the cocoon inside my chicken run near my little pond here in Louisiana. Your article matched with my warm happy feelings about finding my cocoon and saving it to share with all my Grands!

Thank you, Steve! It was pretty special to get to watch this moth over all these months.

Great to meet you yesterday!

What an incredibly beautiful poem, Dave! THANK YOU. So appropriate relative to Shane’s beautiful writing. This blog brought tears. Cheering loudly!

Thanks so much, Dave. I hadn’t run across John Cody’s work – here is a link to his gallery in case anyone wants to check it out. Quite serendipitous that the homepage features a Polyphemus moth!

Thank you for sharing that beautiful poem. Next spring maybe I’ll do a post about dandelions, too. 🙂 It may be a few years yet before I start learning about spiders, but they’re definitely on the list, too.

Thanks, Shanna! It was pretty special to have this moth emerge on his birthday. The writing is easy when there’s such a special story to share. 🙂
