It's a Leopard moth http://insects.tamu.edu/extension/youth/bug/bug109.html OlgaN Miami, FL (Zone 10b) July 11, 2003 11:45 PM Post #580473 That is an interesting moth for sure! The wings look like silky fabric. rutholive Tonasket, WA (Zone 5a) July 13, 2003 1:30 AM Post #581298 Haighr, what a beauty of a moth. Never saw one before. Out here we have ones that look like that except are all white. My Roger Tory Peterson Moth book says that the larvae of Carpenterworm and Leopard Moths bore in various trees, sometimes causing considerable damage. Says wingspan is 2.5 to 8.5, which seems pretty large. Donna haighr Hagerstown, MD (Zone 6a) July 13, 2003 2:17 PM Post #581703 Wow, don't think I'd want to tangle with one that big Donna.
