The Cecropia is a giant silk moth and North America's largest native moth, easily as big as my hand! Once at this stage, it only lives 7-10 days depending on how much it moves around. My friend Neydie called this morning to tell me about the gorgeous giant moth on her garage window, but she didn't know if it would stay long enough for me to get there. Obviously it's conserving energy, hoping to live another day or two!
