Night of the Moth
Traci had just returned home from an evening walk with Nala when she noticed this Moth on the front window. Really something, isn't it? It was about the size of an adult hand. We tried searching for this moth on various websites, but couldn't come up with a name. Goliath moth, maybe? If you know, drop us a line.

Hey guys!!!
Nice pages!!!
to show you that Big Jim's tax dollars really go to something, i asked our moth expert entomologist if your moth was related to the "Cecropia Moth" that we recently found up here. He said: Yes, it is related and this one is a Polyphemus. (Antheraea polyphemus.). Usually quite common and a[[arently plentiful around here at least this year. Caterpillar feeds on a range of tree and shrub species including ashes, birches, maples, oaks, grapes, hickories, pines, and mempers of the rose family.
So now you know...The Rest of the Story.... - "Ohio rog"
