Polyphemus moth
Antheraea polyphemus

Observation date: July 09, 2015
Submitted by: Tomanion
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This sighting, and my previous two submissions, occurred near a large stack of very wide and knotty "rustic" White Oak boards. The moths were almost motionless on the asphalt and after awhile we're not to be found. I have not yet investigated the location the trees were growing in.
