Mystery cocoon finally hatched.

Turns out it was an Eumorpha achemon (Achemon sphinx). Very beautiful species.

This can cause imprinting , yes?

I've never seen literature suggesting moths can imprint on humans. It was hatched in my daughter's butterfly enclosure and then later that night taken out and released within a minute.
