MothsSan Diego Moth
Hello,
We found this Moth outside our home in San Diego, California. It looks like your photos of the Polyphemus Moth on your website, but a search of the internet did not show they frequent southern California. It had a 6 inch wingspan. Any help you could give would be much appreciated. Thank you for such a wonderful site!

Hi Laura,
Hogue lists the Polyphemus Moth in Los Angeles, but your moth is a black Witch, Ascalapha odorata.
