Large yellow and brown moth - Eacles imperialis
Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, USA
July 9, 2010
Size: 4 inches
Saw this on the sidewalk in downtown omaha. It looks like there's a small hole in its head on one side...hard to photograph. It would flip over when i touched it. it appears to not want to fly.

Nice pictures :)
I cropped these images to show more moth and less sidewalk. Only you and the editors can click on your images a see the full size images. I also frassed the second images because it look just like this one after cropping and rotating.
