Description Okay, y'all know I'm not particular to insects but this was too amazing to pass up, it was outside my guard trailer where I work a couple mornings ago so I took a few shots. I even picked it up and relocated it when a truck got too close to it..that's worthy of at least a pat on the back...

Ive actually never seen one before in person, but I've always admired the photos I've seen of them. This is especially a good picture of it, nice clean view of its wings and patterns. Its a beautiful find.

Thank you, this was actually the first time I had seen one up close. Normally i'm not a bug person but this was too pretty to pass up.

I have one of these!! Well the picture that is! For some reason people seem to love these Lunar Moths... is prolly because they are rare!

They are such big.....bugs.....as you read I'm a bug hater but this one was pretty enough to escape the bug category just by that much...thanks too for the fave, much appreciated!

I love these things, they're so beautiful. We had one on a tree outside our house for a week or so, I don't know why - it never moved, but it was alive..at least until the bratty neighbors decided to play with it >_<

Lol, good to hear from you! How you been feeling lately? This is a strange thing for me because I'm a bug hater...I won't kill them if they're outside but if they're in my house like walking on my bed...well okay if they're spiders and they're walking around on my bed, it's all over..

Oh no, I have a friend I've known since I was 11 and she's a severe manic depressive, I've seen what she goes through every day. I'm so sorry to hear this, I'm a good listener if you need one, take care, you're in my prayers..

haha, thanks :] it's not a big deal for me though, I was horrified at first but it's actually pretty chill. Tomorrow we get to order chinese for lunch and watch movies all day :] I don't know how I could have committed myself to all this if it wasn't for my boyfriend though, we're celebrating our two year anniversary on Saturday, he's not once lost faith in me.

Sometimes that's all it takes..in this day and age with all the world is going through, you're allowed to take the time to let off steam.

Yeah I have a big light on my trailer at night and bugs are surely drawn to it at night so I get some beauties waiting for me in the morning.

I've seen them once or twice but never this close. I was happy with the shot and happier still that it didn't fly up at me.
