Luna Moth
by: Moni

You have a Luna Moth.
These are beautiful moths! They are in the Silk moth family (Saturniidae) The larvae become large green caterpillars, over 2" long. The caterpillars feed on many trees including birch,
black gum, hickory, persimmon, sweet gum and walnut. Cocoons are hidden in leaf litter in the winter.
Many are seeing these right now....except me...I want to see one too!
