Eacles imperialis, 09 October 2013
Eacles imperialis, the Imperial moth;
Volusia county, Florida (09 October 2013).
The Imperial moth is a large, variable species rather abundant throughout the late summer and early autumn months, most notably October in Volusia County, Florida. Large, regal, and quite furry, I consider the presence of an Imperial moth to be a sign of good luck — or at least as an excuse for quiet appreciation.
