Giant Cecropia Moth

Seriously big, and stunningly beautiful. I found this astonishing creature while out walking at dusk, and stopped in my tracks. The mosquitoes found me the moment I stopped moving, but I didn't care; I had to get photos. The wing span was fully the length of my hand, so close to 6.5 inches, or around 16 to 17 cm.

Thanks! The hardest part of getting the shots was withstanding the onslaught of mosquitoes that began the moment I stopped walking.
