Prominent Moths (Notodontidae) are a group of medium-sized moths with stout, hairy bodies. They typically are brown or gray. Females generally are larger than males. When resting, Prominents hold their wings like a roof over their body. In profile, they seem to have a humped back. Taxonomy: Prominents (Notodontidae) Flight: Wing Span: About 2 inches; For More Information: See the Butterflies and Moths website. |

The front legs are covered with gray hairs, and when the moth is hanging on a wall or other vertical substrate, they stick out like antennae. |
