Imperial moth
Eacles imperialis

Observation date: July 01, 2016
Submitted by: Ksmith3
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sighted in Indianapolis, Indiana. Thought is was amazingly big and inspired me to look it up. Noticed that in WIKI it does not show a sighting of this moth in Indiana. So thought I should let someone know. Provided the ID is even correct. Sighted on a beautiful summer day. Sunny. Office building location. Not much plant life nearby.
