Dave, I picked a similar cocoon from an azalea and also found a tan, hairy, but otherwise featureless body inside. It was warm to the touch. The cocoon was a sort of elongated triangular shape almost 3.5 inches long (like a big, parchment brazil nut) and the creature within about 2 inches long. I'm guessing it may be one of the large moths like a cecropia or sphingidae. I have kept it safe and hope my damaging the outer covering has not jeopardized the creature. I had, at first, thought it was some kind of azalea gall or spiders nest. Does anyone know when this may "hatch"? Ken MacAulay Port Mouton, NS
