Giant Silk MothsGiant Moth ID?
What kind of a beautiful moth is this? We reside in SE Wisconsin and have never seen such a large, beautiful moth! Is it a member of the Witch moth family? Great website!

Hi Suz and Joe,
Not a Witch Moth but a Giant Silkworm or Saturnid Moth. More specifically, a Polyphemus Moth.
