Title: Cecropia Moth
Post by: BIGFRANK on May 31, 2012, 03:30:25 AM

Wow never heard of it. It was huge! I read 110mm-160mm. I truely dont know how I noticed it. I was at a Peregrine Falcon fledge watch at The Mississauga Executive Centre and it was on some temporary scaffolding, between a loop in some yellow caution tape. Never seen anything like it. I did my best for pictures. (http://www.winkflash.com/photo/imagew2.aspx?p=1&c=10176933&i=490814125&z=0)
