Moths as Big as Your Head



Although Chicago is known for its deep dish pizza and beef dishes the locals appreciate the great Mexican fare too. One (very) late night destination has a sign that reads: Burritos as Big as Your Head. That's what I kept thinking about when I saw these monster moths outside the house in late July.

I think the top photo is a Luna Moth in very rough shape (missing one of its "tails") and the bottom, an Imperial Moth but anyone with others ideas is welcome to chime in here.
