My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Large butterfly or moth ID needed

15 years ago

I couldn't get a decent photo since it was hiding behind a hosta leaf. Hope I got enough of one, though, to help you ID it. It was the largest moth/butterfly I've ever spotted in my Chicagoland garden. The first photo shows the wings closed...it had at least a 3 or 4 inch wing span...
