Beautiful female Cecropia Moth!. These moths have no mouth parts, and live only about a week, there only purpose to find a mate. Here's what the Cecropia caterpillar looks like, if you have seen them around.

Seems it's later in the summer when I see those around here. It's always neat to see them when you do.

Yes .
I see them (or Similar Types "BIG" ) from time to time usually at brightly lit Gas Stations or Stores around Sun Rise , see them Big Beetles sometime also.
They are beautiful Creatures indeed.

Do they sting?
On occasion I have rubbed against something on a bush or Tree the either stung me or gave me a weird mild electric shock feeling & never saw what it was.
Dang Yellow jackets have got me the last to hunts ; One right in the back of the Head , it got me in the space between my Hat & the size adjuster, & still hurt hours later. I was on a strong target at the time as well . FWIW.

No Davers, they're apparently harmless, but sure are dangerous looking.

Those colors usually are a warning to hungry critters to stay away.
Nature does pull a fast one every now and again.
