Moth cocoons can be found any time during the fall or winter. For example where I live polyphemus cocoons are found haning on riverbirch, willow oak and pin oak. Cecropia cocoons on wild black cherry, There cocoon always lays on the branch. Luna and IO moth cocoons are the most difficult to find beause there found most of the time on the ground barried under leaves. Promethea and tuliptree moth cocoons are found hanging on low tree branches( the easiest to find along with Polyphemus) depending on where you ive. If you don't have the time or patients and you don't mind spending a little money you should look at Bill Oehlke's website at http://www3.islandtelecom.com and just look around. Also right now he has a Christmas special lasting from November 16 to December 16. He offers cocoons and butterfly pupae ( swallowtails) e-mail him at oehlkew@islandtelecom.com. Hope this helps:)
