Imperial Moth?? – Extreme South Georgia
Found this on my cypress fence this past week. Can’t find anything that states Imperial Moth come this far south. The eggs are still on the fence and there must be at least a dozen of them. Is it indeed an Imperial Moth???
Thanks!

Hi Cheryl,
Our Audubon Guide lists the range of the Imperial Moth as east of the Rocky Mountains from Canada to Mexico. Your specimen is within that range.
