The great wood moth from Kansas


This lovely creature can get as big as 7 inches long and can we have a wing spread up to 12 and 1/2 in Beauty and color it gets his camouflage from the tree that it was born on using a photosynthesis like filmmaking

If I saw a 7 inch version of this, I’d be pretty scared ! Very nice photo DrZen.

I shudder to think what their caterpillars are like.

It’s color looks like living room drapes from the 1970’s.

Does it bite? Must be painful given that its big.

I’ve lived in Kansas most my life and I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these
