2 pictures for you
My husband found this moth outside his work in Pittsburgh, Pa, and we tried to find a picture like it with no success. Is is about 3 inch across, and very pretty, as you can see. Thank you if you can help.

Hi Mary Ellen,
The Royal Walnut Moth is also known as the Regal Moth and its caterpillar, the Hickory Horned Devil, is equally spectacular.
