... but this is the first time I have seen an emperor moth and I wanted to share. This one is BIG and beautiful. Saturnia pavonia, actually the small emperor moth!
EDIT. Actually I got it wrong! This is Saturnia pyri (giant peacock moth, great peacock moth, giant emperor moth, Viennese emperor), Europe's largest moth. I thought that the colours were not quite right! The distribution I looked at was out of date.
