Default Giant Moth!
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 . 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.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
