Giant Moth!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I've noticed that the moths this year are in more of an abundance than I ever remember in my life. Seems like every time I enter my house, inevitably several of them come on in with me. Well, today I went out and saw this gigantic moth waiting to enter my house and chew on my favorite suit. I would like to put some moth balls out to prevent them from entering my closet, but I can never seem to get their little legs apart to get to them! Anyway, this is the biggest one I have ever seen in my area. Anyone else having the same problem this summer?

I've never seen one of those before. Your moths are definitely purdier than my moths, but I still like my wardrobe better! I remember accidentally swallowing one while mowing on my 73 while yodeling away :biggrin2:. At the time I nearly died choking and gagging. Now I look back and laugh. No more yodeling while mowing, though. Can't imagine choking on a luna one with 6" wingspan.

These guys seem to show up around work every so often, a little smaller than the average hand but still a big moth nonetheless.
