Very pretty moth. With that tail, it would be interesting to see it fly.

It would, late night flier they are. If you have seen a Luna Moth for real, count yourself lucky.

Lucky indeed. Adult Luna moths and others in that family have no mouths or digestive organs. They basically live their short lives on stored fat. Isn't nature fascinating in her variety?

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
