Columbia silk moth (Hyalophora columbia), #7768

Sundridge, ON

A large silk moth, very similar to, but slightly smaller than, the Cecropia moth. As far as I know, this species in Ontario is found largely from Central ontario northward. Bug Guide notes it is more commonly associated with Tamarack bogs, of which there are many in the Sundridge area.
