Polyphemus Moth

Antheraea polyphemus

Description:

Not sure what this species is... It had an injured wing and wouldn't fly away when I went up to touch it.

Habitat:

I found it when I was walking to school.

Notes:

A nice specimen, but I was only able to use the iPad camera I had on me because I was walking to school.
