Thats what the moth was 🧡

June is peak silk moth season. The largest, most spectacular moths in North America emerge this month — and most of them fly for less than two weeks.

Already flying since May: hummingbird clearwing and snowberry clearwing at the flowers during the day. White-lined sphinx hovering at dusk. Giant leopard moth with bold black spots on white wings.

🌿 Emerging this month:

- Polyphemus moth — five-inch wingspan with enormous eyespots on the hind wings. One of the largest moths in your yard.
- Luna moth — pale green, long tails, no mouth. Roughly a week to find a mate and lay eggs. That's the whole adult life.
- Io moth — bright yellow with eyespots. The caterpillar stings — the adult is harmless.
- Imperial moth — yellow and brown, nearly as large as the polyphemus. Emerging in mid-to-late June.
- Promethea moth — males fly during the day. One of the few silk moths you can see in daylight.
- Rosy maple moth — bright pink and yellow. The most photographed moth in the eastern US.

Most of them have no mouth as adults. They emerged to reproduce, not to eat. June nights are when it happens 🐾
