Description


a close-up of the luna moth head. the moth's wingspan was about 4.5 inches(114mm). I was fascinated by the furriness of his body. this one seems to be male; male moths have a larger antennae. thanks so much for looking and thanks for any comments.

Very cool capture here, Barb. Like you, I can't get over how furry this little guy is. This is a rare treat for those of us who have not seen one before.

A spectacular photo of this Luna moth.The male has those large antennae to help track down the females pheromones before his short time is done.

Cool shot and closeup, Barb. 114 mm is a rather big fella. Looks funny with that white woolly stuuf between the wings.
