Here is one of Antheraea polyphemus.  Admittedly, the author did enlarge
the picture considerably, but it does give you a good idea of what to look

As I understand it, the cocoon usually hangs onto a twig or is lodged
against the trunk of a tree, but it can often be among fallen leaf litter
if it is knocked down.
