Colin picked up up a hitchhiker in the grocery store parking lot this morning.
After much research this beast (that's a nearly 3 inch wingspread!) turns out to be a Royal Walnut Moth...the Royal Walnuts of Georgia to be sure.
He/She? is free now somewhere in my backyard. Click on the photo for a closeup!

I don't usually refer to insects as beautiful, but this one is very pretty - so big!!!!

The Moth is beautiful. The colors are inspiring, aren't they. :-)
Love the color and texture! Is this your next quilt?
Goodness Deb, as I take another look at this 'critter' my stomach churns, the same feeling as being on a high ledge and looking down.
Sure don't like them, but the colors are beautiful!!
Yes, i am inspired!
