Moved-Hyalophora
Moved from Hyalophora.

I contacted Chris Schmidt about this and apparently it's not the first Hyalophora record from NT (one record of H. c. gloveri, so that's probably what this is), but seems to still be the northernmost record. So, nice find!

Moved-Hyalophora
Moved from ID Request.

Definitely Hyalophora, and potentially the northernmost record (I'm working on verifying this). Likely not cecropia based on the coloration, I am leaning more towards gloveri/euryalus or one of the intergrades of these species. I moved these images to the Hyalophora page for now since they represent a very important record, hopefully I can get some more information about which species are in NT.
