A new moth in our yard

Hello, everyone.
As y'all know, we wanderers appreciate a lot of facets of nature. Today we saw a moth we had never seen before. Never heard of it either. But there they were: Rothschildia forbesi, known in Spanish as Quatro Espejos, the Four Mirrors. It's a wild silk moth native to South Texas and points south.

There are two of them here. They seem to have just crawled out of their cocoons. Aren't they beautiful!
