What a glorious creature that is, now I just need it to survive, pupate, and come back to infest the tree, lol. Finally! A use for the blasted leaf and bark dropping thing that I sweep up after every few weeks!As kids we brought a gum emperor cocoon in which hatched without us seeing it do so. It then buzzed Dad in the hallway one night. Gave him a hell of a fright which us kids thought was hilarious at the time but I'm guessing now that Dad thought he was under attack by a bat!
Fingers crossed!
