Giant Silk MothsButterfly
Sorry about the bad photo, but I couldn’t find this butterfly on your site. We’re in Northeast Tennessee.

Hi Brents,
This is one of the Saturnid Moths. We are reluctant to give an exact species based on the photo.
OK, I reviewed your moth photos (silly me thought he was a butterfly since he had four wings; have since educated myself on the difference) and determined he is definitely a Tulip Tree Silk Moth as in your photo. Makes sense since we have a ton of yellow poplars. Thanks once again for your most educational and useful site.
Tim
