Actias luna
Luna moth spotted in the woods near dusk. Its colors were so vibrant! I had never seen one just sitting around during daylight before. I wondered if it had only recently emerged from its cocoon since it stayed so still.

Julia15, you can upload the picture to your own Project Noah account to get an identification.
I think this is a Luna moth I just found on my window sill. One piece of his lower right underside looked damaged. He had been attached to the screen. What is their lifespan? Would like to post a picture I took?
Me too, Steve.
