User's notes

Didn't see the catepiullar but found apartially formed cocoon on the back of a harvested spinach leave. I looked for the catepillars a couple of days later and found a second cocoon, but no catepillar. Larger than a Cabbage White Butterfly and the wrong shaped cocoon. Will be interesting to see what emerges.
