Promethea Moth-Dude!


One advantage to not using lawn chemicals is the random appearance of strange and beautiful creatures. Last evening, we saw a large moth in the driveway. It was a jet black stud of a Promethea Moth-Callosamia promethea. This insect had just hatched and was in the last stages of wing inflation. So beautiful. This picture is from the web and depicts a deceased individual.
