Luna moth (Actias luna), #7758

Reveler Conservation Area

This glorious creature is entirely ethereal in appearance, so Luna or Moon moth is appropriate somehow. They live only for a week or so, and like most, if not all silk moths, do not eat as adults. To see one is always the highlight of mothing season!

Many of us could learn a lesson from the luna moth. Just think: I could wear the jeans I used to in high school.
