Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus), #7757

Larose Forest

This very large moth was attracted to the headlamp on Stephen's hat and would not leave him alone :-) So Stephen hung around with the moth on his hat, while I took down the lights and other equipment and packed it away. Even then, the moth flew into the car!
