Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It was a nice sunny day out here at the lake. Noticed this big beautiful species sitting in the shade under my hydro meter just relaxing on the side of my house. He wasnt fully stretched out, but his wingspan was easily 4 inches. Never seen a moth this big before, so I had to take a picture!
