Megalopyge opercularis
approx. 1 inch
spotted on outside of greenhouse on riverfront property
I first saw this moth high on the greenhouse (#5); but when I leaned against the flexible wall the moth fell on me. I assumed it had expired so I brought it home to get closer photos. Then, when I took it from the little box, it crawled onto my thumb and eventually flew away.
