Giant Silk MothsCeanothus Silk Moth
Hi!
I just discovered your site today! Awesome! Many times I spot bugs, and spiders (we live by a swamp) that I have never seen before. I believe this is a Ceanothus Silk Moth. We live in SE Michigan and the wing span was about 2.5-3 inches. I look forward to sending you more pictures, I have taken many over the years!

Hi Chris,
You live out of the range of the Ceanothus Silkmoth. This is a Spicebush Silkmoth, Callosamia promethea, a very battered female. BugGuide has an excellent photo series of the entire life cycle.
