Anyone know what kind of Moth this is??

[NewToFarming]

Found it on my screen door on my back porch. I have seen some bigger but never this color!! It is about 6 inches or so across and the body is about 2 inches.

I don't know, but I have to say, I have seen some VERY interesting moths lately at my deck at night. Lots of odd colors, unusual designs, etc. It's the year of the moth I guess.

It is an Imperial Moth. It is a member of the Giant Silk worm family.

Cool looking moth.

We get some around here that are pink & yellow, really fuzzy looking to. Just as pretty as can be! Probably highly toxic knowing my luck!
