It's no mystery how this moth got named, both common and Latin names
derive the the pattern of spots on the wings.

Yeah, they show up around here from time to time. The big hickory
moths are impressive, too. I somtimes find the detached wings of large
moths on summer mornings. I assume it was either bats or nighthawks
that killed the moths and devoured the torso.

Some evidence that our cat may take a few large moths--we find wreckage
every now and again in the garage (which of course is open to ANY
cat-size critter.

Woo, I know moths are harmless but I wouldn't want to run into that big
