🦋🚑🦋#MothsOfMaine Happy Monday Everyone! . The Moth in this Video is a Hyalophora Cecropia, the Cecropia Moth, is North America's Largest Native Moth. It is a Member of the Saturniidae Family (Giant Silk Moths). Females have been Documented with a Wingspan of 5 to 7 inches or More! . This Little Lady Accidentally Flew into the Rock Shop and Quickly Became Distressed as She Struggled to Find her way Back out. Fortunately, with Minimal Effort, She Fluttered onto my Hand and I Gently Released her into the Lakeside Garden Across the Street from the Shop So She could Continue Living her Best Life. . In a Effort to Identify her I Stumbled Across a Cool Website “ProjectNoah.org“. I Encourage Everyone to Check it out, Especially my Fellow Wildlife Enthusiasts! . Thanks for Watching Everyone and Special Thanks to Everyone who Came to Visit us at our Rock Shop in Greenville, Maine Throughout this Past Week, without ALL of You this Dream Would not be Possible. . #NorthernMaineMinerals #NmmRockShop . #MaineRockShop #Maine #MaineWildlife #Wildlife #Crystals #Minerals #Rockhounds #RockShop #CrystalShop #CrystalHealing #HealingCrystals FossilShop #CrystalsForSale #Moths #Insects #Moth #MaineMoths #BugsLife #HyalophoraCecropia #Hyalophora #Lepidopterology #Entomology #Bugs . 🦋💎🦋❤️🦋💎🦋 (at Northern Maine Minerals) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzqDp8_As-3/?igshid=10putgcjs0b70

This house sparrow was foraging in the tidal area of Boothbay Harbor, demonstrating how adaptable these little birds can be (as long as they live near humans).
