Talk:Hyalophora cecropia

What's going on in the "In Science" section?
Is that a quote of Carroll Williams in Nature? "You can tell that it's a moth because of the way it is"? This could use a rework either way. I'll take a look at this again tomorrow and see if I can find the journal article in question -- if so, I will rework the section or possibly delete it, as it may be unnecessary. Side note for any professional or would-be Lepidopterists out there -- discovered a large Cecropia cocoon on a walk yesterday, clung to a young Norway Maple alongside my road in Schenectady, NY. A few days later, and here I am in the Talk page.

Pic
Uploaded what i think is a nice picture of this moth. Came across it while at work, sitting on a wall. Impressed me enough to take a few shots. Just gonna link it here, if the Lepidoptera community wants to add it to the main page feel free to do so. UltimaIX (talk) 23:15, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I added back the two pictures, I think it's important to show both genders even though the differences are slight. This encyclopedia isn't taylored to scientists and the like. I think the layperson would appreciate being able to visually see the difference in the genders, etc. -Kugamazog it is very big! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.224.95.187 (talk) 00:29, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Sex Differentiation
Hey, i just added that the male's abdomens are more angular. I've raised the moths several times. I've been able to raise them through several generations.What's up yall!!!!!!!!!!! T. Morgan

cecropia moth
someone should put a labeled diagram of a cecropia moth!! That's all this page needs to be perfect!!!!Angelica T.

I just found one of these beautifull moths and want to put it in a shadow box. Are these moths rare to missouri? No one around here seams to have seen one before?

Photo submission


I just uploaded it, but not sure where to put it. I like that the tree shot shows the cacoon, but the moth is a bit hidden in it. Mine has no cacoon, but shows his colors nicely. I leave it to my fellow Wikipedians ;) VulpineLady (talk) 23:10, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

This is a terrible photo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.66.5.195 (talk) 23:58, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

hi-res photos to submit
I have two great pictures of s caterpillar that I believe is H. Cecropia. Very close up and high res. I don't know how to upload/add them to the article and quite honestly don't want to take the time to learn. Would anyone be interested in receiving the photos and uploading them?

I have seen several of these moths in Lillooet BC, Canada, which is very far west of the Rockies, as the article wrongfully currently depicts its range limit Nesikep (talk) 00:50, 9 June 2016 (UTC)Nesikep, Efrem Hug
