7 inch wingspan
Short adult life for mating
Wonder of nature
The largest moth on the North American continent. This amazing creature displays incredible color in all stages of its life. Hope you see one some evening.

Those are so beautiful! Years ago my sons found a caterpillar and put it in a 5 gallon bucket and fed it till it made a cocoon. The next spring it had turned into a cecropia moth!It was so cool to see and so much fun to release it at night.

Their cocoons are somehow wrapped in leaves. My grandma used to find them in her geraniums.
