On the field trip I took my daughter on last Friday, we saw a huge moth sunning itself on the railing of Chabot Space and Science Center. I got a killer photo of it.

I just identified it as a Ceanothus silkmoth (Hyalophora euryalus). (http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=3283)

It's gorgeous. I'd never seen a moth like that around here before. This was up in the Oakland hills, where there is a lot of parkland.

Looks like it's on a cheese grater. Don't think I'd want moth on my Spag-Bol.

Beaut Pic though GN.

That sucker's wingspan was wider than my hand.

It was seriously a big ass moth.

Looks like it has a normal sized moth ass to me...for that size moth.
