Another Big Silky...

If there are any moth freaks out there who like the odd silky or two can you please put a name to this beast? I found this on a wall outside my hotel room on the island of Bohol in the Philippines a couple of winters ago. It was quite large!

The silk Moths are quite a large group of moths with a worldwide distribution. Many are big and colourful. They often have dramatic eye-spots or transparent panels or spots on their wings. In Ontario we only have eight of the larger species but they are all rather nice. The Polyphemus Moth featured yesterday is one of these. I'll go into more detail about these brilliant creatures at a later stage.
