This past summer, we found this Luna moth late in the evening. The photo doesn't do it justice; the moth was nearly five inches across and was just so different than anything I had ever seen, I immediately started to research it. For some reason, I identified it as a Luna Moth without any hesitation (probably from reading The Girl of the Limberlost countless times in middle school). Interesting fact? They live long enough to mate. About a week. And adults don't even eat food--their sole purpose is to procreate. I had hoped we found the moth at the beginning of its week and not the end; but it didn't matter. That night a monster thunderstorm with driving rain rolled through and the next day the Luna Moth was gone.
