PAGING LITT (HUGE BUG AT WORK RELATED)

[Rylan]

This thread has awesome things I never want to see in real life.

Only reason I hate insects is that feeling of being walked on.

The scariest part of that bug is the monobrow.....

WHAT IS IT LITT BRAH?

[Letang Is The Truth]

I'd say hawk moth based on wing shape

[Malkamaniac]

That is a big bug.

[mac5155]

Do you guys work in the Amazon rain forest?

[canaan]

that isnt at my work. just gnarly is all.

[mac5155]

I was going to say. You guys must carry around a hi-res camera and snap pictures of bird-sized bugs

[canaan]

ha. the first two were from work...this thing however, is busy attacking the mainland.

[Letang Is The Truth]

with the wing markings and the antenna (and huge size) id say it kind of looks like something of the saturniiade family probably silk moth but never have seen on that color

[canaan]

you have a good brain for bugs

the wing markings of saturniids are very distinct. i have a pretty boss insect collection of over 150+ insects and had to identify each down to the family level so i have a pretty good eye for what to look for

[blackjack68]

How about this one from South Jersey?

[MRandall25]

Looks like a big-ass grasshopper.

[canaan]

only one scientific way of knowing for sure: cover it in chocolate and bite it. if it tastes good, its a grasshopper.

Yeah, it’s definitely a Cecropia Moth. I would occasionally see them back when I lived in rural Butler County. I’m really surprised you came across one during the day like that. They aren’t very common these days. When growing up, I could go years between sightings, and we lived in the middle of a forest.

[Letang Is The Truth]

hard to tell without seeing the legs but maybe a cave cricket or a bush cricket?
