What is this moth's name?


I call it the snake headed nike swoosh moth. Near the Anza-Borrego Wilderness, Southern California. About three inches big. If I were a bird, I might think twice before pecking.

IMHO, Moth in Saturniidae family.

Hyalophora cecropia moth maybe?

Most probably a Ceanothus silkmoth (Hyalophora euryalus). Hope this helps.

I believe it is a Promethea Moth
