Giant Silk Moth

Habitat:

Brasil's interior, MG state (Brazilian Atlantic Forest)

Notes:

I was very tempted to give the title of this species as Rothschildia jacobaeae, but I have a little doubt since, as far as I know, it is endemic to Argentina and not Brazil. Maybe occur here as well. I prefer confirming from an expert friend. ~ 15cm wingspan.
