A very striking moth I found today, 'Regal Moth'.


I've come across some bald-faced hornets and they are just MEAN. The moth was still there today, I moved it to a tree limb in the shade. I don't think it's feeling too good, it's moved it's wings a bit but didn't try to fly.
 
Looked this moth up on google.

The moth is really cool looking...but I would run from this if I saw it

:eek:

Wow, read up some more about this moth, you are very lucky to have seen this. Apparently adult moths after pupating only live for about a week. They have no mouth parts as adult moths!

I was reading that it doesn't feed as an adult, probably why it is getting so weak-acting.
 
Very cool! Never seen one so colorful!

We had a moth outside the living room window last Sunday night that was so large I thought it may have been a bat at first! Wife was freaked out! :)
 
When I first bought my house, I was out grilling a nice steak. I went to go flip the steak and this is what was waiting for me

Yeah, you gotta move. That ain't right Brother Alex!

LMAO!!! Only a few more months, Ed, and I'll be back in good ole Maryland. I can't wait!!! But I was scared as heck when I saw this thing...it was huge!
