Cool Moth at my door this morning

Almost stepped on this bugger on the front porch this morning. Guess the cold weather keeps it from flying.

Thanks, I used the iPhone with the stock lense . Did a little touch up with snapseed but not much.

We used to see them from time to time each summer growing up. But have not seen one in years. They are good sized to. Very neat, wish I could see another.

Very Cool and they are huge wish I could find the pic of a cool green one I saw last year

Saw a bunch of these Luna moths one day a few years ago hiking at Huntsville State Park....

This is a Polyphemus moth, a male to be exact. We have several a year at our place and even had one emerge while in a terrarium.

We've always called these wood moths, but I think it is actually a Vigorous Cissusa moth; but I'm nor sure. It could have just emerged or is a small female.
