It's no mystery how this moth got named, both common and Latin names derive the the pattern of spots on the wings.

Yeah, they show up around here from time to time. The big hickory moths are impressive, too. I somtimes find the detached wings of large moths on summer mornings. I assume it was either bats or nighthawks that killed the moths and devoured the torso.
