Cecropia Moths 07-02-2023
Hyalophora cecropia, the cecropia moth, is North America's largest native moth. It is a member of the family Saturniidae, or giant silk moths. Females have been documented with a wingspan of five to seven inches or more (from Wikipedia).
I photographed this mating pair at a nearby arboretum and rendered them with watercolors and artpen on Fabriano coldpress paper ~6" x 9".
