Was on our back deck, was like woah

 

Cool its a Polyphemus Moth :

Polyphemus Moth - Antheraea polyphemus

 

Just a giant silk moth then I guess. Says they're most common in Illinois & Canada, never seen one before here though. Could probably mistake it for a bat at night.

 

Strangely beautiful.

 

How did you managed to place a coin beside it without startling it?!

Beat me to it. I thought at first it might have been a type of Emperor Moth, which is also one of the Saturniidae. Very similar looking. But no, you're right.

- Coeloptera

 

I saw a huge ass moth like that the other day at work (Pennsylvania, but people drive in from all over, could have been brought in by one of them?)

 

I don't mean to hijack the thread or anything, but since we're on the topic of giant creepy-crawlies, here's a huge slug that's been living around my house. We call him "Super Slug".

 

MOTHRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  Sorry Couldn't resist, That month's kinda cool looking.

 

I would shit myself if that flew around my room.

 

I knew I shoulden't have sold my giant atomic dinosaur.

 

Ah, beat me too it.


That's the biggest moth I've ever seen, if I saw one I'd be like woah.

 

Well, it's definitely big.

But, it doesn't hold a candle to the Atlas moth:

Its wings look like they're smiling, sinisterly. XD

 

You take a picture of the moth and not the tiny Japanese women singing to it?

 

I lost my appetite thanks to your link  

 

As Link once said......."Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse Me Princess!"

 

 

 

What can I say? Insects/arachnids have always fascinated me.
