Atlas Moth

My hubby found a large moth this morning on the french doors. I looked at it and was shocked at it' size. We looked on the net and it appears they are common, but why we have not seen any is beyond me. I am actually glad, they are very big and it would bug me to to run in to them. moths seem to get in the way and bug me where as butterflys are graceful and just go about there business. Have a wonderful day today. Hope summer is treating you good. HUGS MARY
