Imperial moth
Eacles imperialis

Observation date: June 01, 2019
Submitted by: NANCANVA
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I think this moth is in the later stage of his life. He's on the ground in our landscape bedding. He isn't dead, but appears very lethargic. He measures approx. 4.5" wingtip to wingtip. It was very easy to lie a ruler next to him.
