I live in Derby NY. We have the male of this species on our door. He's been there since we had a late night rainstorm. We have to use the door but he doesn't fly away. What should I do with him? He's the biggest moth I've ever seen. His feelers are amazing. He's at least 2 1/2 to 3 inches long. How can I help him? He's been sitting there for 2 days. Since they don't live long I don't want him to just die there. He must have be seeking sheltered during that heavy rainstorm. ~2026-30597-11 (talk) 20:20, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Distribution and Habitat Section

Hello Wikipedians.

I thought it would be apt to recommend that a distribution and habitat section would be very helpful. It would allow readers to understand the habitat of the species and where they can be found in the world. Additionally, a distribution map of the species can be included to be a visual aid for viewers. It will also help answer the comment above regarding how sparse or rare these moths really are. This information can also be evolutionarily important as it provides information about the species' environmental niche. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vkrishnan2 (talk • contribs) 02:23, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Conservation Section

I believe that the title, Conservation is not appropriate for a section talking about other organisms that hunt or parasitize this moth. Instead this section should be named Predation and Parasitism and another section could be titled Conservation if there is indeed endangerment in this population.Sahilmehta97 (talk) 00:18, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

"Response to threats" section

The "Response to threats" section contains a large amount of trash and a small amount of good material. It seems as though every second word in there has been converted into a link to something obvious, some of the section is duplicate information from the rest of this article, and a great deal of the section is off-topic; lessons on frogs, lessons in general biology, and so on. I knew if I started cutting, with the mood I'm in, the section would end up with only four words. So I'll leave it to someone with more brains. TooManyFingers (talk) 06:56, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
