Avery Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 When my mom was weeding a few summers ago, she dug up a cocoon? underground chrysalis? and we thought it was different than the Tomato Hornworm ones we sometimes find. So we kept it in my mom’s classroom for the kids to see, and I guess it thought it was spring so it hatched that January. It escaped in the classroom and laid eggs everywhere, luckily there was nothing to fertilize them. But what a beauty! I don’t like the fuzzy legs though... not a fan of big spiders... I think it’s a Polyphemus moth 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Don’t know what these are. I take pics of cool bugs, but I usually just use Seek to ID them. Forgot what they were. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one that has just laid an egg (circled) on my sock. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banded or Sycamore Tussock Moth (looks like it's on a sycamore leaf, so probably the latter) and Silver-spotted Skipper. ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the Mohawk on it! Oh, are these Eastern Cottontails? They are all over our neighborhood. Looking at 3 right now as I listen for Timberdoodles Edited March 24, 2021 by Avery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern is more likely than New England, but they're difficult to distinguish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 @Avery After doing a little research, I think you're safe calling them Eastern Cottontails. New England Cottontails haven't been found in Vermont in a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
