Polyphemus Moth
One of the largest giant silk moths we have in North America, the Polyphemus moth is found pretty much everywhere in North America from southern Canada and all of the lower forty-eight states except for Nevada and Arizona. This extraordinary large six-inch specimen was spotted at a rest area in Madison County, Florida struggling with a particularly windy afternoon on a chilly North Florida winter morning.
