Virginia Ctenucha is a moth that is found in the eastern half of North America. It is a member of the Arctiidae family and the Ctenucha genus. They are a diurnal so they can be found during the day. They are the largest wasp type moth in North America. Notice the proboscis rolled up into a circle underneath the mouth. This straw like appendage is what the moth uses to drink nectar from flowers.
