Comments:  Cecropia Moth on Tulip, Indiana. Hyalophora cecropia. This is the largest of the North American moths with a wing spread of five to seven inches. Cecropia moths are often referred to as silkworm moths. Although these moths are common throughout North America, you don't often see them because they fly only at night. However, because a Cecropia moth is colorful as well as large, when you do see one for the first time, you won't forget it!
