Giant Silk MothsWhat’s this?
Hi,
I think this is the cutest bug I’ve ever seen. Found her/him on my graveled driveway. I have lived here for 30 years and never seen one before. Got to love those pink wings.

Hi Teryl,
This is a newly metamorphosed Elegant Sheep Moth, Hemileuca eglanterina. It is found in the Pacific Northwest. It gets its name because it is often found in pastures where sheep graze.
