Beautiful Visitor

[Mike Koneski]

Had this beauty hanging out by the lodge Friday. A Cecropia moth, the largest native North American moth otherwise known as the giant silk moth.

Cecropia Moth

In my teens I used to catch and collect moths and butterflies and spread their wings and dry them and display them in glass cases. I'm not being a smartass but just pointing out the differences.

Dean is correct, Polyphemus Moth. They are delicious.:shock:

[Dean Romig]

That's what I've heard Daryl. Please let me know....

All I have to say on this matter is either 410's or if you really wanna be sporting Winchester Model 61 pumps using rat shot :whistle:

Dean is correct, Polyphemus Moth. They are delicious.:shock:

Takes too many to make a meal.

Takes too many to make a meal.

Not if you stuff them with crabmeat. It's a Maryland thing.:)

No different than hummingbirds. Takes a few years to have enough for a real pot pie, two crusts.

If that was the case it would have been one of those tiny moths that eat flour products.:eek:

[Mike Koneski]

Oh well, wrong species, right family. Chickens enjoyed it.

One doesn't have to open their wallet to buy a Fox. You can use the change that you find in your couch cushions. Unless you are turning a SW into a D grade with a small mortgage. Just sayin'. :bigbye:

I'm terrified of moths. I think they're reincarnated devil beasts. Honestly, I can't stand any moth near me. Would rather have a rattle snake near me.
