Seen near wetland area
This is an insect I've been trying to photograph for some time. I usually see it floating in the breezes, through the forest, like a piece of cobweb.
Today it was resting attached to a weed.
It is about 1.5 inches across the entire insect including the legs. I also made a video of it moving.
Here is a link to the video -

Note, I had to click the HQ on the play line to get it to play smoothly.
