I had forgotten about Polyphemus the Cyclops!<BR/>So very exciting that you have a cocoon! I have maple trees and lots of leaf mold maybe one of these days I will have Polyphemus Moths too. I have only seen them one time in my gardens back in the 1980's. Is there any way you can protect cocoon? <BR/>Fantastic moths!

There are some places where they are undisturbed, I will try and imagine that is where they can safely winter over. Sigh. Your moths are wonderful and good deal on the great picture. In our other house in TN we had a motion light over the garage that would attract so many moths. In the morning they would still be attached, a regular display of great variety and beauty.Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-27092961854039731182008-07-15T09:05:00.000-04:002008-07-15T09:05:00.000-04:00When I first heard that many coccoons overwinter o...When I first heard that many coccoons overwinter on dead leaves, I almost wanted to stop raking and disposing of my fall leaves. We have so many trees, that really isn't an option, but like you I leave some of them on my garden, both as mulch, and in hopes I can spare a few moths and butterflies. I'm glad you found this one!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463831506588682774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-39429239191935626252008-07-15T08:27:00.000-04:002008-07-15T08:27:00.000-04:00What an interesting-looking moth.

For those who don't remember, Polyphemus was the Cyclops that Ulysses tangled with in the Odyssey--sorry the English teacher in me coming out again:) <BR/>Anyway, then I saw the size--no wonder! It's huge!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
