caption_attribution_description: I found a strange furry pod under a rock near the pond. It was a thumb-sized nodule bristling with a jumbled matt of short brown hairs. I thought it might be an egg sac full of spiders so I saved it in an insect container, and waited. After about a month, I was surprised to see this enormous moth next to the pod. The furry home seemed untouched, but was light and empty. Her wings were still inflating, preparing for first flight. She looks quite exotic, like a visitor from afar
