There are several different plants that a Polyphemus moth will feed on. Some of these plants include Pyrus, Sassafras, Citrus, and Ulmus Americana.
Adult Polyphemus moth's life span is only about a week. The male and female mate and the female lays her eggs during this time span.
Adult moths live for up to a week, without feeding, because they have reduced mouth parts. Larvae from hatching to pupae live for 5-6 weeks. It takes them 2 weeks to turn into adult in summer, but if the silk cocoon is formed in fall, then it will overwinter. The adult will emerge in spring.
In large quantities, moth dust can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. It may contain toxic compounds from the moth's environment or diet. It's best to avoid contact with moth dust and take precautions when handling items that may be contaminated.

a huge, green juicy lizard would eat a peppered moth.. well with my research it is. the lizard is called the green spider as it is sly and cruel. It trap's it in its tongue and swallows it in a gulp.

There are many species of moths, and a number of them fit the description of large, brown, and furry. This may be a luna moth, it may be a Clymene Haploa Moth, or it may be a Polyphemus Moth.

Antheraea polyphemus, commonly known as the Polyphemus moth, symbolizes transformation and new beginnings in spiritual contexts. Its life cycle, which includes metamorphosis from caterpillar to cocoon to moth, represents personal growth and the potential for change. Spiritually, encountering this moth may remind individuals to embrace their own transformations and to trust in the process of evolution in their lives. Additionally, its large, striking eyespots on the wings are often interpreted as symbols of protection and awareness.
I think that they eat plants and small fruits. But I don't really know for sure.
Well it depends what kind of yellow caterpillar you are talking about, if the one you are suggesting about is the size and thickness of your thumb, then yes it is, it's proper name is a "Polyphemus Moth Caterpillar". Polyphemus eat maple, birch, willow and several other trees, but are seldom abundant enough to cause any damage. As big as they are, they are really hard to see among the foliage when they're resting. As with many caterpillars that leave the food plant to spin a cocoon, Polyphemus are sometimes seen wandering around in late summer. This caterpillar spins a tough, brown, oval cocoon that you may find attached to the eaves around your house during the winter.
In the scientific name Polyphemus, "Polyphemus" represents the genus. In biological classification, the genus is a rank that is one level above species and encompasses one or more species that are closely related. For example, Polyphemus might refer to a specific group within a family of organisms, such as the Polyphemus moth in the family Saturniidae.
