A friend at work took these images of a Black Witch Moth . It had a 7" wingspread . It was below freezing this morn when outside duties caused me to find this hanging on the side of a parking lot curb . Just wanted to share , not asking for critic comments on the picture quality . Thanks for looking .

Cool! I got shots of one a couple years ago. When it took off, it flew like a bat. You may want to Google them; there is a lot of interesting folk lore about them.
