Another Visitor

This guy was another porch visitor and absolutely huge. I went through my butterfly and moth book but couldn't find him. Does anyone know what he/she is?

Sandra, this looks like a Prometheus moth. My brother used to collect insects, and these and Luna moths always caught my attention and imagination.

Gorgeous. I was thinking Gypsy moth, but yes, looks like Prometheus.

Thanks, ladies. He was one big boy.
How are you both?

Julia Rachel Barrett said...

Good! Congrats on your upcoming release.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Julia:)

I can't tell what it looks like with its wings extended, but we found one (here: http://reading-writing.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.html) that might be the same thing?
