Luna Moths

Rather than clutter this up with the dozen pics I chose of the 72 I got last night, I instead direct you to my blog:

For the shots I got last night of the Luna Moths that showed up! I got summoned outside to see them and promptly went back in and grabbed my camera. It made my night to see them and today I’m still glowing about it. I also posted in my facebook for those that saw there. I’m just so excited about them I had to share!

Very lucky. I’ve always loved Luna moths but I have yet to see a wild one.

Pretty cool. I’ve seen them a handful of times; they’re definitely not a regular sight here.

Wow. Them’s some big-arsed moths! Beautiful color to them–not what I think of here in Az when I think ‘moth’. Very nice detail in the shots of the little frondy antennae!

oooh, very pretty… and yes, a lucky happening. I spent maybe six years total living up in that part of the US and in all that time I’ve seen one luna moth. Very cool!

Awesome shots. I wish we got more variety of interesting moths here in AZ. I’ve got a few of a Rustic Sphinx feeding on a night-blooming Easter Lily, but that’s about it.

Most of them are just grey or brown.
