Description I photographed this moth from all directions and could not see its eyes through the antennae.

You did an awesome job here. The texture and details of the wings is truly remarkable
it would be a great inspiration for an artist to draw this

Thank you so much for your comment.  I  don't refuse artists from using my work, with the normal stipulations.  I plan on spending some more time in your gallery studying your work.  I like your work.  I think it impressive and admirable and you are very, very talented.

Great Shot! Now you have me googling "moth eyes"

Would you mind if I use your photo as a reference for a drawing project? I would, of course, credit you. The earthy tones would translate great in graphite.

I tried to research this, ask some of the experts here and haven't gotten the same answer twice.  I believe it is from an eri or silkwom.  There are just so many similar moths.  I should have spread its wings to see the pattern.  Let me check the Atlas out.

Yes. There are 3/4 in the same species.
IF you look on my Profile page in animals? I found another in the same species..............I am dying to see the Moon one.

It does, doesn't it.  She might be, I think she is getting ready to lay her larva.  Thank you my friend for viewing and commenting.
