    I've wondered about those ever since I read Girl of the Limberlost! Beautiful critter, how big is it?

    What a fabulous looking moth. Those colours and patterns are amazing. The moths we get here look so drab in comparison.

    This is the first time I've actually seen one here. It's 5-6" wide.

    Wow, what a beauty. We sometimes find their cocoons in winter and bring them home for a spring hatch. Nature at her finest. 8)

    That is gorgeous! I've never seen one. My goodness, it doesn't even look real.
