Antheraea polyphemus (Polyphemus Moth)
So, lots of moths lately. This is a Polyphemus Moth (Antheraea polyphemus) and is another that was on the side of my office building. A coworker came to my office and told me about it and I went down and took a few pictures. When I left for the day it was still there but had its wings folded which gave a nice reflection in the glass on the side of the building. This was taken with flash.
Polyphemus was a the cyclops that Odysseus ran into on his journey. He was the son of Poseidon and Thoosa. The moth is named after him because it has a single eye-spot on each wing. They don’t really show up well in this picture and are more obvious from above.
