Some of us don't have mouths, however..
Heidi discovered a big, beautiful beastie of a moth this afternoon at a county park ~5 miles from Marathon.
Western Poplar Moth (Pachysphinx occidentalis)
This Sphingidae family member does not feed (a characteristic more known of the adult Silkmoths, Family Saturniidae). It's larvae feed plenty, on willow and poplar leaves.
A new moth for us.
