Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found the moth attempting to flutter up my leg while walking through the back yard. Realized pretty quickly it couldn't fly yet. Noticed a partial cocoon still attached. Was originally investigating nearby honeysuckle, and learned the caterpillars like those plants. Lighting was perfect for pictures while the moth continues to push the cocoon off of its booty. I hope I get to see the fuzz butt!
