Sure birdlady, I found the caterpillar on my garden and I put it into an empty fishing bowl with different kind of plants, one week later I woke up in the morning and found the cocoon, I was really excited about that. Now I can`t wait to see the moth emerging from the cocoon. Here you can see the caterpillar http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7620932
