Luna Moth

Why are they called luna moths? Do they glow at night?

Fantastic!

... wow..!

Thanks for letting me use your beautiful photo as the mission's icon. I will now change it to another moth.

Wow, that´s amazing

Beautiful !

Thanks!!

No I don't mind at all :) feel free to use them for whatever. Thank you.

Thanks!! Do you mind if I use this as the mission's icon for a week?

We have been using an ordinary, white bedsheet strapped up between two trees or two poles places in the ground. Then we have a mercury light and a blacklight shining on the sheet and the moths just come flying, so to speak. In my experience of doing this 3 summers in Ontario, the luna's fly in june-july and come out earlier on in the night. I would check moth lights from sunset till sunrise, and the luna's were always the one first out by the lights. Hope it helps. :)

How can you lure these?
