[ReconRaptor]

Damn nature you not so scary anymore.

[VannchenDraw]

It's wonderful...a beauty!

[majormarkin]

three years ago I stayed up evey night to find this moth, and just last week one flew right into my hand, but then i didn't even want one anymore...

[johnny1shadowhunter]

wow! i never seen it do anything like that before.. nice!

[SorvahrSpahr]

looks amazing, rly colorful and pretty...but i'd still freak out like hell if it flew inside my house. there's something about moths i hate...they fly like they're on acids or have parkinsons xD

[xavierspade666]

Absolutely Beautiful!! i'd love to start a colony of these... on my thrift-store wardrobe?

[jddavidso]

pretty

[woof999]

WOW!!! It almost looks fake, it is so beautiful!!!

[linnefa]

Like a purring cat

[AltAirPilot517]

Extremely obvious that it's a Euryalus moth

[yunleilei]

This is a Ceanothus silk moth.

[Atomicskull]

It's a cecropia moth.

[BHARMS2]

im a dude and all but im an artist and a tattoo artist and i have to tattoo damn butterflys all the time but i think butterflys and moths are beautiful but i like moths more

[chromesthesia]

@BHARMS2 Yeah, I love both, but moths need more love.

[8888themaster8888]

beautifull ................

[TheGamerKoopa]

Might be a female cecropia.....

[kclama]

Amazing wing actions.

[RealCosmicSurfer]

I had one on our drive way last month...HUGE beautiful and furry....Unbeleivable markings and colors....Nothing ever seen like this in the 16 years I have lived in Denver and no one else who saw him could figure him out either....We had a wierd spring and summer and wonder if he was from somewhere else.

[BenTheMagnifice]

I think thats a bird not a moth....

[GmanZombie]

No...

No.........

ITS MOTHRA!!!!

[benso9c]

Lol mr mothra

[manchesterUFan08]

i hope your trying to be funny when you say that because that is def a moth

[GmanZombie]

Do you even know what Mothra is?

[manchesterUFan08]

yeah i was replying to the first comment "I think thats a bird not a moth" I've seen every Mothra, Godzilla, and Gamara movie there is I'm a big geek

[GmanZombie]

Ah it looked like you were replying to my comment sorry.

[seinitoasarahmila]

Gorgeous!

[TheMuffinChannel102]

This is a columbia moth, correct? I had a female, M.Z, she laid a good amount of eggs, i think.

[Skullerman]

Could very well be, a few people have posted their ideas on it, but for me not knowing the family or phylum makes it tough.

[thoughoutlife]

it wierd how the wings are colored like that

[Skullerman]

Yes protection I would think, but i have to find the page and read up on it.

[chrono4203]

@thoughoutlife Its for protection vs birds. They are colored to look like eyes so they look much bigger to predators. If you notice, all giant moths have "eye" looking spots.

[MorlaTheNothing]

I like your video. I saw one of these at my job and it literally was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It was doing the same motion with it's wings and I couldn't help but stare at it for a while.

[Skullerman]

Thank you, and yes it is amazing. I also was stund and took a few secounds for me to come back to reality and then get my video camera.

[WildLifeCrys]

BEAUTIFUL!

[Blockintosh]

Cecropia Moth?

[SirEriks]

yes very beautiful creature :)

[Kxixx]

Beautiful!

[koopa888]

What a handsome insect!

[dEsSiCaTa]

Stunning colours!

[xxchloe1xx]

thats stunning

[Favre4EverMT]

That is a Columbian Slik moth it looks a lot like a Cecropia

[Skullerman]

Yeah could be but he/she was in my yard in Victoria BC so i dont think it crawled all that way. then again I dont know if it flew all the way either, but who knows.

[Megsta2205]

nature is amazing...

[TotallyInLoveWithYou]

that is actually really pretty moth. i am so used to seeing just brown little ones flying around but that thing is beautiful.

[xypsilonx]

woooow

[Tyranitar635]

its so hypnotic...whats that? you want me to kill the less beautiful butterflies? as you wish.

[Skullerman]

Kill i am a bit confused as to what you mean???

I cant tell you what to do you seem to be smart enough to figure things out yourself. why would you say that anyway?

[Scarlohara]

Wow, what rich colours, they don't kid when they say moths are more colourful than butterflies.

[Skullerman]

Yes they are, for some reason they dont get the same notiriatie as Butterflys when clearly they are more colorful

[grace7777]

@Scarlohara Absolutely,  moths are so much more interesting than butterflies. Plus they're so fluffy and plump!

[acqumen]

Very beutifull. I like the colour of its wings. Deep red and the purple and the white.

[bisexualbuffthug]

Those things get big! Their wings are like art work they are so beautiful.

[sneekygenie]

looks like Mothra for Godzilla sorta

[jcmegabyte]

What you have there is a Ceanothus Silkmoth (Hyalophora euryalus). I've raised a ton of them (see my channel for the complete life cycle). This one is a male and it's trying to scare you by moving its wings. They're completely harmless. :)

[6327isc]

That is one beautiful Saturnid. It looks very much like a Cecropia moth, (Hyalophora cecropia) but with that much red, more like its Hyalophoran cousin, whom I do not remember the name of.

[Skullerman]

its a Canadian Silk Moth
