Cecropia silkmoth
Hyalophora cecropia

Observation date: June 21, 2013
Submitted by: Sophie-Michèle
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It is 3 to 4 inches of width. We want to know what kind of Moth it is. We found it and it laid its eggs in the cart board box it was in. We would like to place them in the appropriate tree or plant for the larvas to develop properly. Thanks for helping!
