Also Called a California Silk Moth, Hyalophora euryalus. Smaller and darker than the one I saw last year. Wonder if there's a diff between males and females?

The Japanese silk moth or Japanese oak silkmoth (Antheraea yamamai, Japanese: Yamamayu(ga) (山繭(蛾)・ヤママユ(ガ)) or tensan (天蚕)) is a moth of the Saturniidae family. It is endemic to east Asia, but has been imported to Europe for Tussar silk production and is now found in South-Eastern Europe, mainly in Austria, North-Eastern Italy and the Balkan. It seems to be spreading north and a population near Deggendorf and Passau (Bayern) has been reported. It has been hybridi (Source: Wikipedia, '', http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antheraea_yamamai, CC BY-SA 3.0 . Photo: (c) gernotkunz, all rights reserved, uploaded by gernotkunz)

Taken in central North Dakota in my grandparent's back yard. The wings are about 6 inches at the widest point. Although the "eyes" appear blue in this photo, they looked brown in person and on the photos other people took. I guess my camera is just a little different. I think it's identified correctly (thanks to GORGEous nature) but if you disagree, please let me know. Also: Look at the pictures of the profile (found under the "moth" tag or in my "Flora, Fauna, and Fungi" set) to get more detailed view of this beauty. * Voted 3rd Place in the ABC's Letter "S" Photo Challenge from the group Welcome to My World! Wow, thanks!

The death’s head hawkmoth seems to have a skull-like face on its back. Superstitious people in Europe and Asia, where it’s found, see this insect as a warning of death. It squeaks when disturbed, which just makes it seem even creepier. But that’s not all! Its larva feeds upon one of the world’s most infamous plants—the poisonous belladonna. | The Silk Moth | Kids Discover
