We found a Luna Moth last week outside our apartment. They are rather rare. Once they mature and hatch from their cacoon, the adult doesn't eat anything anymore, the female lays it's eggs, and the adults only live about 5 days. The day after we caught her, she layed about 100 eggs in Ryan's bug catcher, so now we have little catepillars crawling around the bug catcher (outside on the porch). It's been fun to watch this with the kids!
