  1. Hi Elaine,
    A rare example of Florida Lepidoptera.

    This is the deadly Purple Spiny oakworm of the species Anisota Stigma!!.
    While easily confused with the Styx variant, it is a distinct sub-species.

    Interestingly, this moth is a favorite food of the Purple Swamp hen!

  2. FAIL Dave, it is Polyphemus moth. Polyphemus was pretty interesting too.
