Hi everyone!
Here's my story...While on my way to the cottage I spotted a large green 
caterpillar on the highway, I immediately pulled over, and yes, stopping 
traffic, I picked it up and put it in a plastic container I had in the car. 
When I arrived at the cottage I took a few photos and put it back in the 
container for the night with the intension of setting it free the next 
morning.Well to my surprise when I checked on it a couple of hours later, it 
had made a web like tent around itself. What to do??? By the next morning 
the tent (cocoon??) was much thicker.So what should I do? Do I keep it? Or 
should I break the tent and let it go? It's still moving around inside.If I 
do keep it,where would be the best place to put it? I would appreciate all 
the advice I can get. I have attached my webshots site with pictures of 
it...also other pics taken yesterday Sept 8th.Oh, and I think it is the Luna 
moth caterpillar. If it is not could someone ID it for me.
Thank you,Jeannie
