Giant Silk MothsBright red and yellow moth in FL!
My friend in North FL found this enormous moth in her garden. Neither she nor I can find any identification for this gorgeous creature on the internet. I was hoping you could help!! What on earth is this thing?? It squirted yellow goo at her when she tried to relocate it to a safer part of her yard. Weird and cool moth!
This beauty is a Royal Walnut Moth or Regal Moth, the adult form of the frightening, but harmless Hickory Horned Devil Caterpillar.
