Artist's Comments

I was moving some of my plants outside around midnight before going to bed one night, and when I walked by our sliding doors in the kitchen, I saw this green bird sized blur fly by the deck light. I immediately thought "HOLY SHIT, I BET THAT WAS A LUNA MOTH!!!!" and ran outside, and there it was, on the floor of the deck.

I can't believe how incredibly lucky I am to get to see one of these, apparently they're really rare because they only produce one generation of moths a year and they only live for about a week. I always hoped I would see one, and I'm so glad I did.

I know! I kind of wish I took more pictures, lol. I can't believe I actually got to see one, too. Have you seen one before?

yeah, but only for a minute at contactin mountains. It wasn't that big but there were three of them around one of the outside lights doing what moths do.

Wow, three at once, though. That's still pretty awesome, even if they were small. :>
