Luna moths are a beautiful member of the animal kingdom, with
the unique patterns across their wings, marvelled by enthusiasts worldwide.
Encounters with a Luna Moth are rare, so if seen it is a blessing. Not only a
thrill but a time for reflection.
With such a short life span, of no more than a week, many
believe the Luna Moth appears to individuals to remind them to remove
themselves from life’s petty problems. Your lifetime is only short – forget
about what is stressing or concerning you and focus on being loving to others.
Being silk moths, they do not consume any food as adults which explains the absence of proboscis, the mouth which is found on most other species of butterflies and moths.

Luna Moths are Herbivores and as a caterpillar they feed on
foliage of various species of Hickory, Walnut, Sweet-Gum, Persimmon and Birch
Trees.
Many observers believe this to be a reminder of the importance
of ceasing the day. Live and love to the fullest and enjoy every experience
that gets thrown your way. That’s as the Luna Moth does.
