Gorgeous! I have only seen two in my life. The poor things only live for about a week, so that's why they are sighted so rarely in some areas.

Isn't it beautiful? Too bad it is seen only at night.

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful moth!
What the pictures can't show accurately is that these moths are 4 1/2" to 5" across. They are really stunning. I have seen a couple of live ones in my life and have one in my butterfly/moth collection that was found dead. I would never have been able to kill one for the collection. They're just too pretty.

I've never seen Fireflies either, the closest I've come is the fake ones in Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland. They aren't native here.
