Before rambling on about how excited I was, I thought I'd offer up a little challenge.
Can you identify all three moths to the species level, just based upon their faces?
Moth #1
Moth #2
Moth #3
Moth #2
Moth #3
Aren't they just adorable?After someone has gotten all three, I'll post more complete pictures.

Found the second one by chance on Google, but I'm not an expert, so I'll let others guess :) They are all very cute, I want to crochet them! Looking forward to more pictures :)
My guesses are:
1) Polyphemus moth
2) Royal walnut moth
3) Luna moth
Fun challenge!
Ted - good on #1 and #3!
So far on the etsy forums, only the Luna moth has been guessed.
#2 is still up for grabs though ;)
#3 is a male Actias luna (Luna Moth)
Is #2 cecropia moth ?
abitabite - yes! Excellent! That's the one I had never seen in the wild before, only as pinned specimens.
He is a real stunner. Of these I've only ever seen Lunas (but lots of those). We have photos of one so large it could have been an eye mask when it landed on my face.
The eyes...
The antennae...
The fluffy...
CUTE EXPLOSION!!!
