Cecropia moth cocoon found while sitting in my tree stand.  Didn't know what it was until I looked online.

The cocoon has a small hole in it which didn't bode well for the moth pupa.










I had to cut it open and there was a small, hairy beetle.   It had apparently had a number of meals before leaving four beetle pupa in the cocoon.   Nice plan for the beetle.
