Moved
Moved from Moths. This moth...http://bugguide.net/node/view/178018/bgimage emerged from this pupa. I kept it until emergence and released the moth after shooting some images.

 
Way to go!
I just linked your images. Nice to finally see what kind of moth this was!

 
Thanks!
I was wondering if it was still alive and then it almost got away before I could take pics of it.

Cool
I found one of these also. See here. Still don't know what it is though.

 
I'm tempted.....
to go back and get it, put it in a container and see what emerges. Funny, we keep finding the same things :^)

 
Yea I know....
It's kinda weird....
