Kannafoot's Photo Challenges: PAD06

I had to search for quite a while to find a gypsy moth cocoon low enough to the ground for me to take a decent photograph of it. The number of cocoons in the state are at an all-time low this year. I remember the huge infestation we had back around 1980, though. The sides of houses were covered with caterpillars, and oak trees were almost wiped out.
