@Hejor1 : Can you submit the eggs and the cocoon separately?

@Hejor1 : how big is the cocoon?

@donhe it was 10-12cm. The size, shape, and hairs are very similar to my collesi sighting in Casey and it was on a gum tree of some kind.

@donhe it looks a bit deflated, but so did one of the ones in Casey
