December 2025 - Columbia Silk Moth

About the Image(s)

This beauty was on my tree a few years ago. It was the first time I'd ever seen one, but in the ensuing years I've seen a few more. However, they are quite rare. It's a huge moth and interestingly they have no mouth parts...the only goal is to mate before dying.
