We have large polyphemus moths, which I grew up calling Monarch Moths. We rarely see them, usually only after the bug zapper has been on overnight. Then we find them in the planters or on the siding the next morning.
My daughter, however, had a rude awakening in the middle of night on the screen in the bathroom. She drowsily woke to use the washroom, turned the light on, and within a minute there was something large bonking on the screen trying to get in.
Her first thought was a bear (...
Monarch Moth...aka...the bear.
