Great view of a superb looking critter!
I checked out the Largest size, but thought that it looked a little pixilated.
Thanks for sharing! Never seen anything like it.

This is a cute moth. Looks like it came out from a fairy tale land. Those colours and textures are terrific

This is a cropped photo from a Fuji A310 (3MP interpolated to 6MP). It was taken two years ago. I've seen more of these moths since but none as brightly colored.

Great photo, we don't see moths like this in the UK.

Wow! You found that critter in Maryland? A. A. County?

Elvis meets Elton John :-D How can this be real?
Excellent pic, especially since you say it's a crop from a 3MP camera.

Incredible! I, like many who have already commented, have never seen a moth like this. Glad to see you've already added it to BMNA. That's the first thing I checked once I realized that it was actually a real moth.

Thank you! I have always wondered what kind of moths these were. I have a picture of one of these sitting next to a Luna moth. I think I just may upload it now that I can identify all the creatures in it.
Rosy maple aka elvis moths. Got it.
