Lovely spot! I have a Polyphemus cocoon so I'm hoping to see one of these guys soon. Now that Goody has given you an ID, please can you edit this & enter the correct common & scientific names. If you could add some info on this species that would be great too - you can copy from Wiki. Welcome to Project Noah Sara!
