Actias luna

Luna moth

Notes:

Though I saw a silhouette of an angel out the window last night and upon closer inspection this beatiful luna moth was resting. She has been there two days now.

This female laid about 30 eggs before being eaten by a bat. The surviving eggs have since hatched and are now in their fifth instar. Some have cocooned. More pictures to follow.
