We photographed this moth on our front door step and since then have been trying to identify it.
It is a large moth, approximately 5 cm in length by actual measurement, but we could find nothing in the references we have to help us with the i.d. We turned to our friends, some of whom are much more versed in butterflies and moths than we are, and today Thelma Beaubien came through with the information we need.
It was certainly a dramatic discovery and we hope to see it again.
