Great photos all!!!

Found this poor moth semi-squished on the drop-off zone in front of our dorm. I was on my way to din-din and picked it up. I think either someone stepped on it or caught part of it under a car tire. It was still twitching a bit - I ended up putting it in a bag in the freezer.

I think it's an Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis). This one is found in Glynn County, Georgia. I also saw where there are records for Cameron County in Texas which is just one county over from where I live. This is a first for me and I can't get over how big this moth is. Am assuming female?

I doubt I'll ever see one in Texas so am happy to find this one..even if it is a dead one.
