Male Luna moth

Yes, you have a male luna moth. The male moths have large feathery antenna while female antenna are narrow and feathery. These large antenna on the males allows them to find the females by sensing the phermones given off by the female.

Beautiful moths. This insect overwinters as a pupa and then the moths emerge in April or May to lay eggs. Larva feed on a variety of plants including walnut, hickory, birch, sweet gum, sumac, alder and persimmon.

You are lucky indeed to have this beautiful moth pick your home. I love to see them, but don't see too many here at my home in Indiana.

Beautiful moth - I always feel lucky when I see one. I've always known them as luna moths - don't know if that is the correct name. Great pic - thanks for sharing it!
