I see no shame in it. ;-) These photos were taken with the Rebel XTi and its basic lens; I thought they came out rather well. Thank you for your compliment on my composition, as I am always hoping for continued improvement. :-) @tabi13 – I am not afraid to admit that I am a fan of P mode, and on occasion I will still greenbox it.

So sure, I touched it. :-) @Alison - I wouldn't, either. This moth is as big as a fruit bat, and that's probably what I would think it was if one flew near my face and it was dark enough. @David - I think it is a Polyphemus Moth, see the similar pictures here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antheraea_polyphemus You should send your walking stick picture to What's That Bug?, they have a whole section on "Bug Love"...heh. @Allen – they don’t bite!

I have seen this moth before in a collection my dad had when I was young. Seems like I remember something along those lines (related to the "eyes" markings).
