Giant Silk MothsEacles Imperialis (Royal Moth)
Hello Bugman! I took photos of a really cool moth. After 3 hours of research, I found that it’s a type of imperial moth called eacles imperialis using the bugguide.net online, then doubled checked over at lep-barcode. It lives on pine trees, which is abundant near my home, bordring the Pine Barrens National Forrest in NJ. I didn’t see any like it on your site, but maybe I missed it.

Hi Nina,
Your female Imperial Moth photo is great. We actually have quite a few photos of this species including the mating pair we have had on our homepage for about a week.
