I have a nice one spotted you should check it out. Its big but the Luna is even bigger!
Awesome and congratulations! Please take a look at my moths when you have the time. Many Silk Moths, but not this one as mentioned.
Ontario, Canada. It was the largest moth I've ever seen. From nose to wingtip must have been 5 to 6 inches.
The coloring is different in your photo, but the markings are the same in the ID I gave. This one I really want to find.
Cool! I haven't come across this one. What country are you in?
