What is a "cecropia moth"?
A cecropia moth is a magnificent and awe-inspiring moth species native to North America. It is considered one of the most giant silk moths, with a wingspan reaching up to 15 centimeters. The cecropia moth showcases a beautiful combination of colors, featuring reddish-brown wings with striking patterns and large eyespots. Adult moths have a short lifespan, typically focused on finding a mate and reproducing. The larvae of the cecropia moth, known as caterpillars, are equally impressive, with vibrant green bodies adorned with spiky protuberances.
