I found this "moth" or butterfly on the window of my van
this morning. He was huge (well for a moth or butterfly).
Anyone know for sure what he is? I'll change the title if my
guess is wrong.

There's a way to tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth - one rests with its wings up (butterfly?) and the other rests with wings flat (moth?).
Chris, I'm pretty sure it is a Cecropia moth.
They are so beautiful!
Chris, my first guess (can I have another?) was the cecropia, but after looking again, I guess it isn't.
I had to look it up and I came up with Polyphemus moth, the one-eyed giant from Greek myths. He is quite stunning.
Thanks for the push to learn something new today! :-) I just love nature and science!
Wow, whatever it is, it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
