Title: A Rare View of Life and Death...Photos
Post by: George D. Stout on June 11, 2008, 07:31:00 PM

I found this adult Luna Moth doing her thing on the underside of the leaves.  The adults live only a week or so, dying shortly after the egg laying is finalized.  They are fairly plentiful, but are rarely seen doing their thing.  This one was in my back yard.
