Beautiful series. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much, Jakubko, YukoChartraw, and kittuandme. I've photographed several lunas, but this one was the most cooperative. By the way, the relatively narrow antennae indicate that this is a female. Also, she has no mouth, living just long enough to reproduce.
WOW!
Wonderful series! I've always seen the wings, so I had no idea that the body is white and quite furry. Beautiful antennas, too! Some day, I want to spot this elegant moth myself!
Awesome close-ups!
