Yes, that is the name of this moth, it is giant silkworm moth. The males actually only live for 5 days, it mates then dies. It can't see or eat. The females lays eggs then also dies.
Well, it is actually a little chilly here compared to what it was a few days ago, and the rainy wet weather is back. I like the cooler weather, a lot better than the 90 humid degree weather that is for sure.
Hope you all have a great week and day!

Hmmm, sucks to be a polyhemus!
Those moths used to scare me. Didn't know they lived such short lives. I agree... cooler is better than hot, but I am glad to see the dry weather.
I think it's funny that you named that moth after a giant cannibalistic cyclops from mythology:)
woah, it's huge! eeep
Ah...so THAT'S what they're called;)
Huge and beautiful with an equally huge and beautiful name to go along!
Great pics!
