Luna Moth

I hadn't seen a one of these moths this year - found him on the road by the trail. Took several shots and thought he was dead. Wanting to move him out of the road, I started to slip a piece of paper under him to carry him to the grass - off he flew! Glad I shot first!

So cool -- I've not seen one in person so this is really interesting. Glad he was alive and kicking but took the time to pose for you.

These moths are fascinating in colour and shape. Great pov and he looks good against the textures and tones of the road.
