Squeaking Silkmoth (Rhodinia fugax)
What a gorgeous creature. I can’t imagine how fat the caterpillars must be.

Hyalophora cecropia / Cecropia Moth (7767) decided to eclose today.
Pupa #2 eclosed the other day, it's a bit late in the season but she's enjoying the bird cage out in the yard. Quite a large specimen almost 6.5" wingspan.
Remember that Cocoon I found back in February, someone finally popped out today. Hyalophora cecropia / Cecropia Moth (7767)
Hyalophora cecropia / Cecropia Moth (7767) eggs photographed at 3X.
Reshoot of Hyalophora cecropia / Cecropia Moth (7767). Put her out last night for awhile but no gentlemanly moth callers visited.
Was a busy day in the studio, photographed a lazy Hyalophora cecropia / Cecropia Moth Caterpillar (7767) and a temper tantrum throwing Papilio polyxenes asterius / Eastern Black Swallowtail (4159)
