I found this beautiful moth (Antheraea polyphemus), on our kitchen window. I took two photos outside and one from inside the house. It was 5 inches across.



A beauty for sure. It didn’t like me taking its photo, so it took off right after the last shot.
It’s host plants are ash, birch, grape, pine, maple and other woody plants.
It has two broods per year but it is rarely seen, because it is on trees and hidden from birds.
You just need to always be looking out for Mother Nature’s gifts.
Remember who we garden for.
Beautiful moth. Thanks for sharing your great pictures and the info on this moth.
