It a male probably died after mating since they only last a week after emerging they have no mouths as moths

Wow!

I was wondering "How the HELL did he take that pic?"
But then I read that it was dead.
I bet that you'd succeed with a pic like this even if it was alive ^^

AwwwWW! They are such a pretty insect, I hate to see them dead They come from the meanest looking caterpillars though

I found one alive on my porch once [link] and have seen several others, but was only able to capture a photo once

I don't have one, I've seen fewer of the caterpillars than moths.

The link leads to a blank page for me :/
If you search Luna Moth on wikipedia it should show all of the stages

That is totally freaky looking, I have never seen one of these in person before, not sure if we have them in my area.

It is always cool when things like that happen. I remember the first and thus far last time I happened upon a red velvet ant.
