Giant Silk Mothsmoth
Hi Bugman,
Can you tell me the name of this moth? It came flying at night attracted to the light. The lens cap is for size comparison. I think that cap is 55 mm. The moth looked to be about 3 inches across the wingspan. I’m sure it’s fairly common. thanks,
Rich
Hi Rich,
This is a Cecropia Moth. We just posted a photo of another individual from this species that was submitted from Ottawa in Canada.
