Giant Silk MothsSilk Moth ID
Can you tell me the name of this silk moth? Photographed in Bee County, southern part of Texas. Thanks,
Charles W. Melton
Hi Charles,
This resembles a Columbia Silkmoth more than anything else to us. You are so close to Mexico, it might be a species or subspecies from south of the border. We will try to contact Bill Oehlke to see if he can provide an answer.
Correction:
Daniel,
It is a Saturniidae, Eupackardia calleta. Can you let me know which county.
Bill Oehlke
