Dear Don,
We started getting images of Cecropia Moths, Hyalophora cecropia, from various locations in the past month, beginning with southern sightings. According to BugGuide: “Populations of this species can be found across most of continental North America east of the Rocky Mountains. Cecropia moths are recorded from the Maritime Prov. of Canada (Nova Scotia & PEI) south to central Florida and west across the Eastern Plains & e. Rockies.”
