Luna moth
by: Janine

My cat found a moth. It died and I decided to keep it. I now know that it is a Luna Moth. It is beautiful. I live in Scotia New York.

Butterfly
by: Rebecca Ribble

Went to the park with my family today. Came across a Luna moth in the grass. I thought it was a butterfly at first. What a beautiful and amazing creature.

Moon Moth
by: felicia

I live in Tennessee and my boys were out playing and came across a beautiful butterfly that they could not identify. So I looked it up. They still can't believe that it only lives for seven days. I had to share because I have only seen maybe three in my whole life(27yrs).

Luna Moth in South Jersey
by: Sally

Hi Pat; I just did a check on Wikki and I realized I have some conflicting information going on. I'll have to do a little more research.

But here is what that article says:

In the northeastern United States around New Jersey or New York, the moths produce two generations each year. The first of these appear in April and May, and the second group can be seen approximately nine to eleven weeks later.

The moth you saw would be from this second group which would be about now.

My sister took this Luna Moth picture and she told me she hadn't seen one in years. I have never seen one except for this picture.

Thanks for your question;

Sally

luna moth
by: Pat Wyatt

I just found this butterfly in my mud room. I live in South Jersey. Are they common for this area. Never saw anything like it. It was the markings on the wings that was so unusual and the pretty green, size just everything about it.
