Nice female.

She was nice and fat! Will she overwinter or is this end of life for her? She was sitting in the road and was pretty sluggish, which is why I moved her.

Looks so big, what's the wingspan of this beautiful moth?

Caterpillars grow to 12 cms. Males can have a 14 cm wingspan, females to 16 cm (Lepidoptera Butterfly House).,
