Luna Moth - Rare Specimen

love your website! I thought I would send you a picture of our lovely luna moth we found this morning hanging on the edge of a hosta leaf. The color of the moth and hosta matched so perfectly we wondered if it was more than coincidence that he chose to land there?

Hi David and Patricia,
I must say I feel a twinge of jealousy whenever we receive a new photo of a Luna Moth, and yours was the second today. The backlighting in your photo really reveals the delicate beauty of America’s most beautiful moth. Growing up in Ohio, I never ever saw a living one. Now that I am in California, there is no chance unless I happen to holiday back east when they are flying. Thank you for you kind words.
