The Beautiful Bright Green Luna Moth - Nature 148

We saw a beautiful bright green critter it is called the bright green Luna moth. The grub making its way through our yard.

The moths look adorable, and their population might be observed in many parts of the USA, and even beyond.

These moths with scientific name, Actias luna, are living in the jungle and bushes. They search foods and mating at night.

Their tails have adaptation to avoid predators such as birds and bat. We have plenty of these predators in our neighborhood.

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

Have you seen Bright Green Luna Moth in Nature?

  9. Nunca tinha visto nenhuma.
    A sua observação não deve ser fácil uma vez que, conforme diz, ocorrem preferencialmente de noite.
    Abraço de amizade.

    Outside the door, the stormy winds have calmed down, but it‘s still cold ... how cozy I sit here at the PC and write comments.
    The holidays are almost over. We have been looking forward to Christmas for so long with lots of preparations, crafting, writing cards, decorating the house and of course the obligatory baking and cooking of cookies. Now we are looking forward to the new year. What will 2025 bring?

    Thank you so much for this wonderful post on

    Hugs from Heidrun, I wish you a pleasant time
