We have some awesome moths here on Mount Wachusett. I was trying to find a pic of a super cool one that had wings separated and above the body, camouflage like a rock. It's shape looked like some sort of Klingon battleship. I can't find the damn pic Nevermind, I found it...




The biggest I've seen was this Luna Moth. I thought a damn bird was hitting my door. Went out and this guy was flying into the door and light. I shut out the light and he landed on the door and stayed until late the next morning.

Cool. Thanks for the ID on the Poplar. I found the Luna easily online. It was huge. I also had a bunch of pink moths that we ID'd as Rosy Maple. No pics of those but very neat looking.

Also this mothra looking guy was pretty cool...
