Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This large moth was sitting on the side of a house. It didn't move. I didn't shoot this photo, but the homeowner did three days later, because it still hadn't moved. It was the largest moth I'd ever seen, probably over 3 inches across, and I've never seen one like this before.
