Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This beautiful creature entered through my apartment bathroom window. It was a warm dry night. The bathroom was dark so it was not attracted to any light or anything. It stayed in the same place motionless for a day or 2. On July 11 I noticed that it laid a bunch of eggs in a very large jar in my bathroom. The eggs hatched & we had caterpillars which we released.
