This is when you should expect to see them. They eclose, mate, the female lays 
eggs and the adults die. The eggs overwinter and hatch in the spring. 
I've seen a few flying here in past years but I've never seen one holding 
still.

Happy Thanksgiving,     Yesterday I had a beautiful "Hemileuca maia" or Eastern 
Buck Moth.  I had never seen one before and was very surprised that it was here 
this late and in perfect condition.  Yesterday was a decently mild date here 
and we have had similar days in the last week with only one day of freezing a 
little over a week ago.  Great to see this beauty.
