Cecropia Moth

On my way into work yesterday, I walked toward the back door and noticed this amazing cecropia moth sitting on the door jamb.


He looks like he's been around the block a few times, but isn't he a beauty?

  1. Moths are wonderful. I had a lovely green luna moth of our screen door for 3 days this past week. What a treat.

  3. Well yes, it's beautiful and all that but I had an encounter with one of those when I was a kid and can never get over my fear of moths and butterflies. Weird, I know, and completely irrational.

  4. I had one of these on my garage floor once and never knew what it was, thanks for the post.
