Giant Silk MothsButterfly Photos
Dear Bugman: On the weekend I was working in my backyard in Milton Ontario and on the fence was this moth. My husband and I am very interested in knowing what type of moth it is as it was so unusual to see something this size in Milton. It stayed the whole day and night in the same spot on the fence and from time to time it would fold close. When my girlfriend came over to takes these pictures the moth wings were open and the body was puffing itself up and down. It has orange feet and the body would be around 1 1/2inches in length. Thanks for taking the time to see if you can tell us what we had. Have a great day.

Hi Fran,
This is a Cecropia Moth. We have gotten numerous images of Cecropia Moths in the past few weeks.
