Luna moth
Actias luna

Observation date: April 08, 2019
Submitted by: Cynthialrn
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sat on my front door all day and was undisturbed by movement of the door. It’s antenna has been injured and I’m unsure if the black marks on its wings are injuries or normal pattern. Later I came out and it was gone but I eventually found where it had been killed and eaten (except the wings) by another creature. It was a nice warm sunny day.
