Polyphemus moth
Antheraea polyphemus

Observation date: April 28, 2024
Submitted by: Debarace
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This moth was on our screen - I submitted a similar sighting yesterday but the pattern appears slightly different. And I was able to get a better photograph. The wings appeared to be between 3 1/2 to 4”. Could not see the wingspan since it kept its wings closed.
