Ceanothus silkmoth
Hyalophora euryalus

Observation date: May 28, 2014
Submitted by: bg155
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This moth is so big, I thought at first it was a bat. I was sitting in garage with a feral cat I'm trying to tame. The moth awkwardly flew into the garage and landed on the floor. Scared the cat. It doesn't appear to be injured. I photographed it, then placed it outside in a bush. 15 minutes later, it flew back into the garage again--awkwardly, landing on the floor.
