Giant Moth

Caroline Wise near Tucson, Arizona

Drove down earlier in the day to visit the Silvas in Tucson, and on the way home this evening, we pulled over needing gas and found this giant moth with some waterlogged wings that had it stuck to the ground. It is early August, we are still having monsoons and rather than let this beautiful specimen be run over by the next driver, Caroline got out and collected the moth, giving it the chance to dry its wings enough to return to mobility.
