~ Lovely Luna Moth ~
I was in a hurry one afternoon, and on my way out to run some errands, opened up my front door, and found this unusual looking moth on the door frame. I started to keep going, then something made me stop, grab my camera and take a few pictures of it… I’m glad I did, as I discovered later after searching online, that this Luna Moth is quite rare to see one during the day, and they only live about a week, and are about as wide across as our hand….

Ahh – one of my favs of yours!! I love the blue background. I am so glad you stopped to shoot this one…I bet you are right by the way, the wings on this one seem to still be slightly curled, making me think you could be right, it must be drying out and pumping it’s wings up.
I love that we posted ours about the same time – and Roselyn Lunetta…I think we should start a Luna moth club… LOL
