What a gorgeous moth - if you turned it sideways, it would look like a face with big eyes. How cool that it posed so beautifully for you V

Well captured - the four white spots might be the only thing to give it away when on the ground

Wow, what a beauty, and a fine capture of it.

WOW! What a fantastic moth and photo. It is similar to the Black Witch moth (Ascalapha odorata) which very occasionally may find its way to southern Canada and beyond; it is also in the Erebidae family. My dream is to one day see one!! V

Wonderful photo of this striking moth - it looks large.

it's gorgeous...with a Latin designation like that, plus the colouring, any common name must have to do with shadows and low light....maybe Chocolate Twilight Moth would do...OK, maybe not..
