Giant Silk MothsNot sure what this is…
We live in Richmond, VA and have a lot of moths around. Today this landed on our house and we were wondering what it was. We have never seen one of these before.
Thanks!
We received three images of Rosy Maple Moths today and yours is the best. These Saturnid Moths do not feed as adults and live just to mate. It increases their chances of survival to have many metamorphose into adults simultaneously. Males will travel great distances to mate with a female that he sensed because of her pheromones.
