This couple was observed hanging from an impatian basket on my deck this morning in Kent, Ohio. The romance lasted all morning long.

Mating Polyphemus Moths

Dear Lifelong Moth Watcher,
We were lucky enough to see a female Polyphemus Moth on the observation tower at Fellow’s Riverside Garden in Mill Creek Park in Youngstown Ohio in early June. Your mating Polyphemus Moths are a welcome addition to our Bug Love section. Thanks for your contribution. The male with his more feathered antennae is the upper individual.
