[Hot Tabasco]

I’ve seen Luna moths (possibly the most beautiful critter in the class ‘insecta’) as big or bigger than this ‘giant’.

I'll agree with that. I've only seen a couple in my lifetime here in Michigan

Here's something I just read:

there are approximately 8 species of moth to every single species of butterfly on the planet.

There are lots of moths that are arguably as - or more - beautiful than butterflies. The ART of some of these designs is amazing, and it’s very difficult to believe that it’s all just ‘accidental’, and not the result of an original intelligent design or plan. (Next to the Luna, I’m especially fond of the Oleander Hawk-Moth):
