I once tried to save a giant moth who was acting strange, I put her in one of my plants and the next morning she had passed away. I later found out before burying her that a spider had been eating her.

luna moths are so pretty! the only moth ive seen other than those brown house moths is the virgin tiger moth.

I found a lunar moth in my backyard! It had lost its ability to fly because the sprinklers were on. I carried it to a dry spot and started blowing on its wings. I then set it in a low tree so that it's wings could dry naturally and it flew away the next morning! It was such a magical experience 🦋

I’ve seen one of these on my front door just today it really cool it stayed there all day while I was at school then I put it on a paper and it flew off these are very beautiful creatures but they only last for 7 days

Dam the wings are so beutifull and the moon looking patterns in the wings really do match the name

[shilothorp]

Can i ask why you pin them with their arms in an unnatural postion? Is it for aesthetics

[starrylynn._.]

question! did you but it? if so where? i’m trying to get into entomology and everyone of these guys that i found unpinned to buy were like $150!!
