So I spotted these Ello-Sphinx moth-caterpillars (5), on my potted Wild Poinsettia 2 weeks ago. Last week I found the cocoon (pictured), under the desk in our living room. Apparently, it quantum-leaped into the house...(I'll leave that one alone). O.o ;-)
I put the cocoon in our butterfly habitat so we could see it emerge. Well we missed it's emergence, but still was graced by it's beauty once we noticed it's presence. We'll be releasing it this evening. Beautiful!!! :-)
