I was going through some shots that I took at a local butterfly house and came across this one of a new lunar moth. It was poised on a branch drying its wings after coming out of the cocoon. C&C appreciated!

Nice capture. Good detail. Maybe its just me but it looks a tad washed out.

Nice shot but I think it's a Promethea moth. Luna's are a pale green with long hind wings, kinda like a tail.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I appreciate it. :)

Reigh, I think you might be right. The guy at the butterfly house called it a Lunar Moth and I did check here (external link) but when I looked at another site (here (external link)) it looks like your description.
