Cecropia silk moth (Hyalophora cecropia)

I got a wonderful present this morning. Heading outside I opened the door and there was the most beautiful moth I had ever seen. It is a Cecropia silk moth (Hyalophora cecropia). The colours were stunning with intricate lines and patterns, a faux eye on each wing tip. I got a couple of shots and then it was gone. A very memorable encounter.
