I think I've only seen these a couple of times in my life time. This one was on my front porch.

Hey, this is an alien moth! They wander about in space. Seriously Connie a rare find and a beautiful capture of it.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Connie, I couldn't determine on your fine capture how big this Luna Moth is, but Wiki was helpful to me and says that it has a wingspan of about 114 millimeters (14.5 inch). Once I was able to capture this one, which had a wingspan of 70 - 80 millimeters (2.8 - 3.1 inch). It was already impressive to me, but compared with the, by you captured Luna Moth, it was a tiny fellow, lol.
Perfectly seen and captured, my friend!

It's hard to believe but I read that the adult Luna Moth does not have a mouth, which is why they only live about a week.

I have never seen one of these, but your capture is perfect. You can see every detail, and what a beautiful colour too. The dark background makes it stand out perfectly. Well done!

This is a wonderful capture of an unusual one Connie - exceptional detail and a really good color pop against the dark background.

Aren't they a most beautiful little creature though? Lucky you to get this fine capture.

Strive for the best. You will achieve excellence!
A nice capture of the moth, Connie. Nice details and colours in the photo. I don't think I've seen them around here. The last thing I need is a giant moth eating the clothes off me as I attempt to snap a photo of it. :)

This is quite beautiful Connie. I've seen a few of them but never had a camera with me. Very nice.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
Connie thanks for your comments on Dreaming. Peace and Happiness to you and your loved ones. Dwight. The Moth capture is great.

Great subject caught well. Sometimes butterflies can just sit still and behave themselves when being photographed. Others just disappear. Good shot!

Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?
That's cool - I love moths, especially big ones like that.
