Yep lots of pics, as this might be the coolest moth I've ever seen. Definitely a lifer if accurate. Not reported in Michigan that I could find.

Flattened basal antennal segment makes a sort of visor over the eye. Shield over back of head, possibly prothorax extension? ID uncertain because of these traits.

Herald Moth (Scoliopteryx libatrix)Observer
ken-potterDescription
20 specimens present; three shown here are new to the tunnel (or returnees) since last visit on Nov 19, 2022.
In spite of the large number of observations I have for this species, this is the first one I've seen with its wings spread upward.
Heavy winds are blowing this one around in the first two pics. It's positioned much closer to the end of the tunnel than most of the Heralds will overwinter, which is generally the center 50% of the tunnel where it is darker and winds in this heavy wind area are dampened.
