Ahhh those are nice big moths! We get them in deep south Texas and they tend to roost under the eaves of the house - probably because the woodwork is dark brown - they like those dark places. They really do freak some of the folks out - old wives' tale about them being the harbinger of death...then on the other hand...others say they are a sign of good luck and they bring money. Go figure!!!

Considering we sometimes get a dozen all around the under the house eaves...I haven't seen a beau coups of money and none of my relatives have croaked either!!! :o)

Here's a male Black Witch...which we often jokingly call a Warlock!

Oh and they readily come to butterfly brew or rotting fruit.
