Beautiful large moth....

[Richard51]

My wife found this moth on our daughters porch and it was so neat I had to snap a pic. It had evidently just came out of it's cocoon, as it was unable to fly for about 30 minutes or so, and then it took flight. God's creations are AWESOME aren't they?

Beautiful shot of quite a creature. What was the background used or was it Photoshopped?

That is a pretty moth and a very nice photo :)

Faced with a wild tiger coming towards me or a moth I'll take the tiger anyday, scary creatures :o. Great shot though although I think I would have rotated it in PS so that the head is facing up.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Dave. The background was a black and grey door mat, so I photoshopped it to solid black.
