I’ve been hoping to see a Luna moth for years. Today one showed up at my office!
Luna Moth

After a youth spent traveling the world, I'm now exploring the wonders of my own backyard, with the help of Ollie (the dog) and Adrian (the husband).
Aren’t they amazing? It always reminds me of the way I used to think that the birds I’d known in childhood were the “common” ones, and all others that I met later — with their surprising plumage or calls — must be “exotic.” (They weren’t.) The luna moth’s parts look like a wild art project to me, and I saw my first close-up one last year, outside the post office. Yet I don’t think the moth is actually rare! Just … delightful!
I agree, Beth!
You can’t fool me. That’s not a real moth. That’s a picture from the movie “A Bug’s Life” that Annie and Peter watched incessantly a few years ago.
Wow! How beautiful! I’ve seen them in butterfly gardens but never in their natural habitat.
Sad that “natural habitat” is a screen outside of an office building, but I’ll take it!
