Living in the country is a never-ending adventure, and one of the things I most like about it is the variety of flora and fauna encountered. Last night I found a huge moth lurking on the front porch, so I had to snap a few pictures. “Mothra” was still hanging around this morning, and it gamely allowed handling while I was taking pictures.

After learning that my moth was a Polyphemus by scrolling through the posted pictures, I quickly decided that What’s That Bug was a treasure trove of information that needed sharing…
