Thank you for your comment
Lysanders, I wished I had been more attentive during and shortly after the caterpillars' shelter period.

Newly emerged moths excreting meconium fluid
Came across your excellent life cycle documentation and your mentioning of the meconium fluid explained our puzzle seeing red liquid spots in area from a newly emerged Giant Leopard moth here in AL.
Had not heard of this before since most moth sightings and photos are of the adult or larva. The life cycles with observations noted is great addition to moth knowledge.
