The moths are admired for their beauty and are regarded as some of the most remarkable moths in North America.

These moths with scientific name, Actias luna, are commonly located in forested regions and are nocturnally active.

We just learned about that their lengthy twisted tails are an adaptation that help them avoid being eaten by bats, which we have plenty of in our neighborhood.

The way they flit, and spin will actually scatter a bat's sonar signals and give them a bit of an edge when it comes to evasion.

Apparently, they don't live too long (a single week once emerging from cocoon).

Have you seen Bright Green Luna Moth in Nature?
