Polyphemus Moth
Hi Melody,
We cannot say for certain why this Polyphemus Moth, Antheraea polyphemus, is hanging upside-down, except perhaps it was more comfortable. We are setting your letter and photo to go live next week since we will be out of the office for a week and we want to maintain a schedule of daily updates.
