Comments: Another large Lasiocampid moth! TYhey grow them big out in Arizona. This beautiful Female was found sitting quietly on the sheets at Harshaw Creek near Patagonia, Arizona. She was folded up and hiding in a crevice near the top of the sheets. We were lucky to get her out without damage to her wings.
