This moth was on my deck tonight.

he's about 4" long and a 6" wingspan

never seen a moth this big before ever, let alone at my own house

My local is South Eastern Pa.

interesting wiki fact-


"The caterpillar of the Polyphemus moth can eat 86,000 times its weight at emergence in a little less than two months."
