Great Tiger Moth
I found one of these at the beach 4 miles north of Gearhart on the Oregon Coast. He is very much alive. I have some pictures and will post them when I can figure out how to do so.

WOW!!
I am very envious of you! I have always wanted to collect one of these, but I have never seen them at home or while on trips!
