Luna Moth Caterpillar 2 by olivetreeann

Luna Moth Caterpillar 2

Before we stuck him in the flower pot on the deck, I had tried putting our Luna Moth in a bucket of leaves- hoping he'd make a cocoon in them. But, he had other ideas! Here he is climbing up the side of our house. Needless to say, we redirected him from that course!

I didn't really have time to take a shot today or to go through the trouble of processing something out of the archives. But this guy was so spectacular, I just had to post another shot of him.
Instant FAV... what a great looking guy. Love the color. The contrast with the wood is fantastic.

he's gorgeous!

Wow, what a brightly colored little guy. I guess he still needs to do some more eating before he's ready to settle down into a cocoon. Cool photo!

What a great shot, Ann! He's so bright!! And unique looking! The detail is excellent. You should go online and see if you can grow a Luna Moth on your own. I bet they have instructions on what to do so that you can see him cocoon! Well done :)

I never would have imagined he was real. Looks like a rubber toy or ceramic ornament. I love this.
October 9th, 2013  
This shot is even better. You can really see the details.
