Here’s the famous Luna Moth (Actias luna)! One of my absolute favorites!

I was pretty surprised to find so many of these flying around, I must have found at least 7 during the weekend I was there. Sadly they are attracted to the well lit area and tend to stick around until morning which is when birds and other predators will come out and eat them.

    Number one moth we catch in our bat nets. They are very beautiful though!
