Hi, here’s a pic of a pair of Promethea moths mating in a silver maple tree. The sexual dimorphism is easy to see. This is in St Paul MN. The female is one I raised from caterpillar last year; the male is wild, as far as I know.
Also here’s a neat shot of a cecropia and a luna on our porch. Not great quality but neat to see them together.
Cheers!

Dear Mike,
You have provided us with such a marvelous posting. It must have been thrilling to witness the mating of the Promethea Moth you raised. Your location seems to be ground zero for Giant Silkmoths.
