Insect Direct Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 last nights visitor must have done some aerobatics on the way here emperor moth what it would of looked like (from page 8) Found this stunning moth while out on a walk with my pup half an hour ago. Poor thing doesn't seem to be able to fly, not sure what's wrong since I can't see any real wounds, only part may be where the body (thorax?) joins the abdomen. It is the biggest moth I've ever seen. I've put it in a paper bag in a dark cupboard for now, just hoping that'll help it calm down and rest, might put a little dish with a soaked paper towel to see if that might help it? Let me know if you have any ideas, all i know about moths is that they often fly at/around lights . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
