1. Oh wow, thanks...

Very beautiful, doesn't even look real. I see from Wiki that this is a North American moth which is nice to see. So many of the bright and beautiful insects of the world live in the tropics.

5. I got to see one in real life and they are Marvelous!

Nature is such a drama queen and gives us such beauty all around.

6. They are pretty.

If they were as large as some of the other Saturnid silk moths they would really get attention. I see a few every summer, maples, mostly red and silver, are one of the two dominant species here, the other being the various oaks.

7. It's like the Liberace of moths...

Spectacular!...

8. I have a ton of maple trees and have never seen such a moth. Where

do they live?

9. Well, I know we have them here in Michigan

Looks like most of temperate N. America east of the Great Plains.
