Found this huge Cecropia moth in the yard today. Have never seen one of these, didn't know there were these big ones around.

Nice find! On a super windy day too.

Yeah, I was amazed how it was able to hold on and not fall off. Still in the same bush today.

Crazy glue ... decoy ... I've seen it before. Did you get any glue on yourself?
