Information about the Imperial Moth:
The Imperial Moth are members of the Saturniidae family, which are the large silk moths. It is a large New World Moth, ranging from Mexico to Canada and from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Coast. It has been recorded historically from New England and southern Canada, south to the Gulf of Mexico and west across the Great Plains. In modern times, its range has receded northward. There is a high amount of variation within this species. The colors of the adult are always yellow and purple but can vary distinctly on this. Generally there is more purple on the forewing and more purple on males. Females are generally a little larger than the males, and can lay up to 200 eggs during breeding season.

Artist’s notes:
The Imperial Moth was completed on 9.1.2013. I have, to some degree, fallen down a moth rabbit hole. It started a few weeks ago when I completed a drawing of a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth. Then I decided that I had to create a collage of moths, but only had 5 species. I then did some research and found the lovely Imperial, Io and Polymorphous moths – all of which I decided to draw because of their coloration and beauty.
