Bug of the Day

I remember this night. This night was a good night.

(Polyphemus moth, Antheraea polyphemus - there are at least 4 insect orders in this photo, can you spot them all?)

Not the best pictures, but this dude landed on our front porch. Was wondering if you might be able to ID it? We’re in New Jersey. Thank you!!

Mystery Moth:

This is a male Polyphemus Moth (Antheraea polyphemus), family Saturniidae. It looks rather worn, and probably not long for this world.
