Totally by chance, I noticed this Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus) out of the corner of my eye the other day when I was photographing a much more colorful American Lady butterfly (see below). The moth blended in well with the surrounding foliage from a distance. Once I noticed that it was not a dead leaf, I got closer to capture some images. It was huge. The average wingspan on this moth is six inches wide! I really like its big antennae and really fuzzy body.
