In late spring nearly every year I’m treated to a remarkable visit. A Luna Moth (Actias luna) magically crosses my path.
Luna Moths are native to Eastern North America, clear to Texas, and including a great part of Southeastern Canada.
The Luna Moth has a wingspan of about four to four and a half inches. That measurement making it one of the largest moths in North America.
The adult stage of the Luna Moth’s life seems to have but one purpose, to reproduce. Both male and female moths have no way of eating, no mouth, no digestive system. Only living for a week to ten days. Such a brief existence as a truly exquisite adult.

Enjoyed the post on Lunar Moth very much. Wonderful photos of a pretty green subject. 🦋
So very glad you enjoyed the post Kathy. They’re such marvelous moths! I feel so happy that I usually see them, even if it is only once a year!
Thanks for reading my posts!
