Thanks for the invite! I'm sorry I didn't get a better picture. I have no idea how to take pics of creatures that move so quickly. You guys are amazing!

Thank you, Willie from WI. That was very helpful. I agree.
Is it possible that your moth is the larger and very similar looking Cecropia moth. The size you state leads me to believe it is a Cecropia rather then a Promethea.
