polk County, Arkansas, USA
May 26, 2009
My uncle found a silky looking cocoon and i put it in a shoe box in my room. On may 26th i was surprised to discover this odd looking moth,I was expecting a rosy maple moth and instead this vibrant red moth came out, not that i am dissapointed i think hes one of the most beautiful moth i have discovered yet. I just have one question, what kind of moth is he?

Attacini, Silkmoth i think..
Have a look at these Attacini, Silkmoths . Somebody can probably give the exact species, but I'm not sure.
