We have over a hundred insects, including moths and butterflies, mounted in cases on our mantel! The Luna Moth is exceptionally beautiful.

Aww you really had one as a... "pet"? ^^ Very interesting, I love them. I only saw some of them in a butterfly park here in Germany. I'm very jealous now.

Not really a pet, they don't live very long. He tries to breed them when he can. He caught a female Cecropia that laid eggs, raised them, kept a mated female after releasing the rest, then raised them before letting them all go. It was fascinating to watch the tiny caterpillars grow and change.

The colors fade on the luna moth if exposed to light. That's why I took the pic

They are very beautiful. Too bad they fade over time (it sits in a display above my mantle, along with about 150 other insects

I could tell, but it works out great as a background for the lovely green moth....

He's been an avid "bug collector" since 6th grade. It sits with a Cecropia and a Polyphemous now. It's a very beautiful moth.
