Hyalophora cecropia (cecropia moth) is North America's largest native moth. It is a member of the Saturniidae family, or giant silk moths. Females with a wingspan of six inches (160 mm) or more have been documented. It is found as far west as California and north into the majority of Canadian provinces.
That’s awesome. I had no idea, this is the first time I’ve seen one. Its wings looked about as big as the palm of my hand.
Beautiful little guy!! It looks so fuzzy!
Truly, a beautiful lil' moth. And the photo itself is also nice :D
Looks like a fish rearing its head to me…
Interesting perception of the wings!
