Giant Silk MothsWhat’s a Cecropia moth doing in Nova Scotia Canada
Hi, I was recently visited by this beautiful moth thanks to your website I’ve discovered it is a Cecropia silk moth but its says its from California, I live in Nova Scotia Canada do you know if they are known to this area or just California. It was on our front porch all day and then it flew away during the evening. Sorry for the not so great picture but I’m petrified of bugs especially flying ones but this one really caught my eye it’s the prettiest bug I’ve ever seen. I’d appreciate any information you could give me. Sincerely,
Crystal Gurney
Hi Crystal,
Cecropia Moths are native to your area as well as the rest of Eastern North America. They are not found in California. Let us know where you found this misinformation on our site.
