I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.. last night i had my front door Open to where i could look out my glass door... And i noticed this HUGE thing flying... at first my boyfriend thought it was a bad... then we looked closer, it was a moth the size of a bird!!!! And it was yellow with some markings on it... We noticed that it had dropped these little yellow beads on the outside of our house, on the wall.. I picked one up with a napkin and they are just little hard beads.. i tried to crush it with my fingers and couldnt... its very hard and small, the size of a B.B. for a B.B. Gun. Iv never seen anything like this..any ideas?

Polyphemus Moth?
Big Poplar Sphinx?
Tetrio sphinx?
Giant sphinx?
Check the website and maybe you can find a picture of the moth you and your boyfriend saw.

I'm thinking Imperial Moth. They grow pretty huge and are yellowish. The BB's would be the eggs SHE is laying!

Above is a hard site to use. Try the silk moths.
