Giant Silk MothsWHAT’S THIS BUG?
Great site. I’ve spent way too much time looking around here. . . trying to locate this beauty. I am amazed at such a variety!!! Someone suggested this was a sphinx but I haven’t identified it. Can you help? Thanks! Best,
Amalia Elena Veralli
Hi Amalia,
This is not a Sphinx Moth but a Giant Silkmoth. The species is the Cecropia Moth. We have several images of mating Cecropia Moths on our homepage right now, but your image is of a much higher quality than the previous images. In the past week we have been baraged by Cecropia images and requests for identification. We didn’t realize our site was so difficult to navigate when searching for identifications.
