Giant Silk Mothsmoth
I shot this picture of a moth in Jackson, Wyoming while there on vacation this summer. I have been unable to identify it. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dave,
This is a Hera Buckmoth, Hemileuca hera. We found a website with additional information. Just yesterday we posted a photo of a close relative in the same genus, the Sheep Moth. This is a new species for our site and we always get excited when we get new species photos, especially ones as fine as yours.
