Io Moth resting on the visitor center wall.

Io moths are sexually dimorphic. Males are yellow and have larger antennae, but have the same spots on the wings. The moth in the picture is a female. Like other moths in the Saturniidae family, Io moths can't eat as an adult. They live just long enough to find a mate and lay eggs. Caterpillars of this species can sting.
