Giant Silk MothsStrange large butterfly
June 11, 2010
Found this in downtown Winnipeg Manitoba Canada in early June 2010. Any idea of the name of this beautiful specimen ? I have never seen anything like it in the city or in Canada for that matter. It was quite large…with wings open it was almost as long as a hand. The body was very fat and roughly 2 inches long.

Cecropia Moth
Hi Stef,
This is a Cecropia Moth. Your letter was the second in a few days that mistook a Cecropia Moth for a butterfly. We have to search for the other letter and post it as well because the image resolution is much higher than your photo.
