Fantastic! A moth that is not only HUGE, it is my favorite color too!
The Luna Moth (Actias luna) is one of the largest moths in North America! Though they only live for about a week as an adult, they are majestic and amazing creatures.
My memories of these incredible moths range from finding them fluttering around under light poles at campgrounds in central Wisconsin at night to seeing them now with my own children here in Arkansas. It is amazing to see them marvel in the same way that I once did as a child.
In this video I share a bit about the life cycles of the Luna Moth, their diet as caterpillars, and other interesting facts. Thankfully, this female was very cooperative. Enjoy the video!
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.
