These suckers can damage your car by clogging up the radiator or in extreme cases covering your windshield at night on I-25.

ETA: for those of you who love lepidoptera, there is an artist in NY who makes absolutely beautiful supersized moth and butterfly sculptures. I own a luna moth and it brings me much joy! Her shop updates are ever other month or so and she always posts about it on her instagram
