Welcome to Project ackerman219 Nice first spotting,congrats and thanks for sharing We hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore: We invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah. There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms. Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions

No problem—me too! :)

Thanks Jacob....always learning!

This is Hyalophora cecropia. The moth labeled "redwood moth" in James' reference link is Hyalophora euryalus, and not Antheraea polyphemus which has brownish wings and one large eyespot on each hindwing. Hyalophora cecropia is not found in your area—did you happen to raise these from another source?

Should be under arthropod section! Nice spot
