A houseguest
A houseguest
This rascal was on the outside of the garage last night. Still there this morning. According to Wikipedia, it is a Cecropia moth, the largest in the US. It has no mouth parts or digestive system and lives about two weeks. Exists to lay hundreds of eggs. I think this one may be a male, because of the antennae. Wing span is about 6 inches.

Re: A houseguest
Thats a beautiful one. Not the case in my bathroom yesterday though - had two of those flying bastards in my bathtub. Took a while to get them out. Some years ago I used to have a big red cat called Garfield - those moths were his best friends. He could spend hours catching them...

Re: A houseguest
ain't skeered of no bug. It was a "he" I think - based upon what Wiki said. Sad life actually. no mouth parts or digestive system. All it does is mate and die. Life span of about two weeks.
BUT, if the house is gone when I get home, he is a dead bug.

Re: A houseguest
Looks like moths are taking over the world, I had one in my house to.
However, due to EU regulations they are not allowed to be that big overhere.
