What is it?
This morning we found this under the car. He is the most beautiful thing I have seen. He looked like velvet and his "eyes" were so beautiful. We are in Haines City, FL which is dead center of the state. Do you have any idea what he is? I stumbled across your site while I was trying to identify this guy.
Thank You,
Diana

Hi Diana,
The Polyphemus Moth is one of the Giant Silkworm Moths also known as Saturnid Moths.
