Giant Silk MothsWhat bug is this?
Hello,
I have attached a picture of a bug I recently "captured" outside my house. Could you tell what it is?
Thanks,
Jay
Hi Jay,
You have a photo of a Polyphemus Moth, one of the giant silkworm moths. As adults, they do not feed, living only a few days to mate. The caterpillars are ravenous feeders.
