User's notes

I gathered the cocoon (photo 4) in early March for safe keeping. When I checked some weeks later, I found this wasp in the bottom of the container. I believe the wasp parasitsed the cocoon, but am keeping the cocoon just in case. (unfortunately, the wasp carcass blew away while I was attempting to photograph it).
