Dear All,                        Aug 4, 2013
    These cocoons are very common this year in tiers of firewood; usually on 
the underside of the bottom layer (just above the stringers) but sometimes 
on the next layer above and always on the split surface. Inside there is 
either an empty pupal case with a small exit hole near the front (perhaps 
some small parasite because the cocoons seem intact) or an occupied case.

    I am guessing it is Isabella Tiger Moth (Pyrrharctia isabella) because 
these are common. Might it be some other Arctiidae ?

Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
