Hyalophora Cecropia moth

Just look at those markings..beautiful.

Stunning!

My son got this lucky shot, I just had to share such a Pretty creature.

Nice shot ! This is a Cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia which is in the Saturniidae family (a Giant Silkworm moth). It's fairly common here.

Thanks Di, I'll edit and rename it. My son told me the name. I used to see them all the time when I was a kid, but I haven't seen one in years; probably because I live in a large urban area- Columbus. I have seen more butterflies recently also though. How is the butterfly population doing in Perry?
