THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 40 - LUNA MOTH
Fantastic! A moth that is not only HUGE, it is my favorite color too!
The Luna Moth (Actias luna) is one of the largest moths in North America! Though they only live for about a week as an adult, they are majestic and amazing creatures.
My memories of these incredible moths range from finding them fluttering around under light poles at campgrounds in central Wisconsin at night to seeing them now with my own children here in Arkansas. It is amazing to see them marvel in the same way that I once did as a child.
In this video I share a bit about the life cycles of the Luna Moth, their diet as caterpillars, and other interesting facts. Thankfully, this female was very cooperative. Enjoy the video!
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

Love the green color, kind of looks like it's a glow in the dark moth. I'm wondering, the eyes-looking wings, is their function to scare of predators? Like pretending to be a bigger animal? Now I think of it, a lot of butterflies have the same eye-looking wings.
Maybe in 20 years you'll find one of her family members! If I take the average of 2 generations per year, it'll be 40 generations further. That would be like your greatgreatgreat... grandmother from 1000 years ago (if you take 25 years to be the average human propagation age). I like it! Have a good day.
Edit: I just remember going to the Full Moon party in Thailand. People paint themselves with fluorescent paint, which is supposed to glow in the light of the moon. Does the color it has have anything to do with it being name 'Luna moth'?
Wow, I did not expect @themoth to reply to my post. Thanks!
Didn't even think about that!

Yes, recently found the Steemit community and have been looking around for the past week. There are a lot of members here with great posts about all kinds of stuff, a great way to learn some things! And the big social media platforms nowadays just have a lot of negativism, I like the positivity in this community.
Cheers!
I am very pleased to hear that you find out community to be positive with many great posts being made. Thanks again for making real comments. I appreciate them!
Thanks @themoth!

He is the largest moth I have ever seen! I have only ever seen two and I felt like I had discovered the loch ness monster. :)
I love its tail and the fact that it is behaving so well for you. Thanks for the video.

I remember seeing moths like that and always thought the eye pattern on their wings looked like gem stones.
