Luna Moth

I had the privledge of captureing pics of this moth in my yard with the assistance of my husband. These moths are very sensitive to pestisides and have suffered greatly in areas where extensive spraying is taking place. I take this as an encourageing sign in my imediate area that they are around. So large and grand 3 1/2-4 1/2 inch wing span.
