Beautiful, I love the big moths.

That is a Polyphemus Moth (Antheraea polyphemus). The adults don't feed, but the caterpillar eats a wide variety of trees and shrubs including oak, willow, maple and birch.

C'mon, there are no bugs in South GA. And we would never use Louise to bait Gators. No worries Louise, come on down.

Oh, I don't know the latin name for those, but in the vernacular, "a great big hairy freakin moth."
