ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty. It is so furry it makes you want to pet it.
ReplyDeleteMy husband (who's not scared of anything) detests moths... This one would definitely give him the jitters! I, on the other hand, think it's interesting, unusual...and very furry!
ReplyDeleteLovely moth, nothing like what we get over the pond here in the UK, the season is nearly up for moths but a few species are still hanging on!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful moth! It looks like it has a winter coat on.

Almost a fearsome appearance, if this creature would be bigger.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's really an amazing moth.
ReplyDeleteI found one of these outside my door - so gorgeous! I live in Reston, VA on the third floor of a condo building. I saw it resting in a couple different places but it finally died outside my door. I have never been so impressed by a moth!
