I noticed this moth on our front door the other day.  It hung around for a long time.  When I put the Seek app on it, it said Promethea Silk Moth,   So I looked it up, and the picture was the same as this one, except the wings were all the way flat open.  Callosamia promethea, also called Spicebush silk moth, has a wingspan of 3-4 inches, and it is beautiful.

 

These moths use Tulip Poplars, Sassafras, and Spicebush as their host plants, and we have plenty of all those around here.  

 

I love seeing something new, and this was it.  I hope you enjoyed seeing it too.  

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
