Very nice Giant Moth...
One of the biggest in Québec.
Look at the bottom wings: looks like 2 fishes that do a hug..
I was close to only publish that part zoomed.

Thanks! I can't wait to see what they will do exactly... I think it was expected last spring... I need to contact the guy to ask for an update ! I'd like to go there after it will be done.. combined with a trip to Vancouver Island... Nice place for photography!
Thanks! I have to admit I adjusted the crop angle a bit in PP... :o
No problema! My pleasure... I used to be very active in Entomology for more than 15 years (almost 20yrs ago).
I can't remember all the names etc, but I can quickly go to the Order level by images... after a quick search I found the name... It's like a "deformation professionnelle" (not sure how to translate that... maybe "occupational bias"? anyway...) that I have... I always love insects even if I do not work in that domain at all... One of my goals if to experiment micro-macro photos with them, to reveals all the details the eyes can't see... It's a big universe to discover !
Hi, you mean the Hyalophora ceropia moth ? (can't see a Polyphemus in Norm's photo.. (oups!) :)

Hi, your photo is great, but I am sorry to tell you that this looks more like a specimen of a planthopper, from the Homoptera Order, (Butterflies and Moths are from the Lepidoptera Order FYI)

Sharing an old capture of a butterfly...
Taken with the Pentax K-3 + Sigma EX 180mm F3.5 APO Macro Lens
What's interesting about this one is that I have been contacted by the Royal Alberta Museum : Royal Alberta Museum, by the assistant Curator of Invertebrate Zoology because they'd like to use this photo to setup a permanent exhibit about flower pollinisation in the Natural History gallery of the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton, Alberta this year. Still waiting to see what it would look like...

I landed on the 1st post of this thread by mistake and was wondering if someone had ever identified the moth of the OP... I did a quick search for "imperial moth" or "Eacles imperialis" and couldn't find any post...
So I take a chance to confirm you the ID of this nice looking large moth: The Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis) that lives in Pinus trees...
Eacles imperialis - Wikipedia
