Description
these are the two newest additions to my collection. two polyphemus moths, a male (on the left) and a female (on the right)in person they have stunning, vibrant pink stripes on their wings, they are absolutely beautiful moths.
the female is about 5.5 inches across (her wings arent fully spread) and the male is a little under that. they are the biggest moths i have in my collection right now ^_^
i also found a cecropia moth but shes a little bit smashed up. e_e;
anywhoo. i really like this photo XD <3

The wings aren't totally spread? Have you considered relaxing and spreading them, or would you rather not?

Very lovely. ♥
Out of curiosity, how do you tell the difference between the two genders? Do they have different markings on the wings?

awww, so beatuful, i had a pet monarch butterfly once, i raised it from a caterpiller and i am not kidding you this thing followed me around the house and would always land on my hand or shoulder he was so smart, but my mom made me get rid of him. i had to put him on a branch and then run away because he kept following me. also i resuce injured moths/butterflys/praying mantises. love your moths <3

I love this because it shows that love continues even after death. I love how it looks like they're "holding hands." It's beautiful.

Stunning picture, the only thing i'm against is the way u "Added" them to your collection like they were cards or figurines... They have a life too and are aloud somewhere other than wherever it is you keep your moths...

Polyphemos moths are some of my favorites! I'm a very amateur naturalist, and these pretty moths were one of the few I could positively identify when I was working at a summer camp. The moths are beautiful specimens, and the positioning/framing really made this stand out as a great image.
