Promethea Silkmoth - Callosamia promethea

At least I think that's what it is. The Tulip-tree Silkmoth is very similar, though I think a bit larger than this one.

We found this and a Cecropia moth on the moth sheet very early this morning. Unfortunately, the Cecropia
appeared to have some damage to its abdomen. I can only guess how it happened as the wings looked very fresh.
There was a click beetle feeding on the injury. :-(


other sizes: small medium original auto

Nature, red in tooth and claw...
But as the Silkmoth demonstrates, nature is also beautiful.

Wow, this is one I have not seen, only the larvae. Still hoping. Had a couple of cecropia's last night. Sad to hear about the injury to the one you saw. At any rate, this is a superb shot. V
