@WendyEM thank you, I felt so proud releasing it! Maybe this is how mums feel when their kids graduate... haha

@DianneClarke I collected the cocoon on 4 Oct. I saw a few of them that day.
Anecdotally, there seems to be a glut of moths this past month or so. A few people are telling me they've been invaded!

There seem to be an abundance of these this season - I have had up to 14 in my little backyard. How long did you have the cocoon before the moth emerged? I kept one for 12 months with no moth emerging.
