Thanks, JET & DB for the info on cecropia and polyphemus moths.  I have 
placed the cocoon in a large container outdoors, loosely covered and with a 
climbing branch and will try to keep moist weekly.  The tan inner cocoon has 
darkened to almost the grey/brown of the outer one.  I am leaning towards 
cecropia as I do recall last year moving a very long, fat, green caterpillar 
out of the lawnmower's path in the vicinity of that azalea bush.  Perhaps 
they both have green caterpillars, of course, and I shall have to wait and 
see!
