Don't lose your appetite


WTF is this thing, it has been in my yard for 2 days. It really creeps me out. It is almost 3 inches long. Anyone?

    I believe after extensive research that you have a male black witch moth. (really it was a 30 second google search)

    thanks, that sure looks right after my 2 minute search. Now I feel pretty cool that the largest moth in north america was right in my front yard.
