User's notes

Found by my neighbour just before it was ready to pupate. Photos 1 and 2 taken the day it was found (3 May). Photo 3 taken the next day as it was preparing to pupate. Photos 4 and 5 taken of the cocoon (26 May). Antennae and wing details can now be seen. Being kept by my neighbour so no interim photos are available.
