IG007 Saturnia pyri (Great Peacock Moth)

IG007 Saturnia pyri (Great Peacock Moth)
Saturnidae Wingspan: 142mm.
Two specimens of this large Silk-moth came to our trap on the 12th May, one landing as shown here just outside the Net Trap. The other was actually inside the Trap having fallen through the funnel with the smaller bottom hole only 35mm in diameter. I'm surprised this size moth can get in, but time and again, large moths have proven it possible.
