What are those ?
Fund them over weekend close to Buck Lake South.
It looks like they were mating. They about 10 cm, red body color.
Type of Moth?
Never seen them before.
Poor focus on the IPhone sorry.

Columbia Silk Worm Moth like the man says.
Awesome find!!
I've only seen two in my life and one of those was dead. They are not common.
To find two, and mating or fighting for a mate is extraordinary!!

In the west the larvae feed on western chokecherry (Prunus demissa), bitter cherry (P. emarginata), bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata), wild roses (Rosa sp.), willows (Salix), buffalo berry (Shepherdia argentea), Russian olive (Eleagnus angustifolius), and buckbrush (Ceanothus).
