Ascalapha odorata, or Black Witch moth, is a sizable, dusty brown, and nocturnal species that boasts an impressive wingspan of 7 inches. It is considered the largest of the noctuid moths and the largest insect in the continental US. While its origins lie in Central America and Mexico, it migrates north in the spring, sometimes even reaching as far as Alaska and Newfoundland. It can also be observed in South America, with sightings reported as far as Argentina. This exceptional specimen is carefully protected within a 9”x9” frame.
