These are my favorite moths! I even like them more than butterflies. Do keep us updated with pics!

How fascinating! It's a real beauty and I look forward to seeing regular updates of the progress of your new pet :thumbup:

Here's a link to info:

I was lucky enough to have hands on with another huge moth, a Peacock Moth, while I was living over in Spain :-D

So today, my daughter let me know that Luna is wrapped up in a cocoon already. I tried to take a pic of it, but it didn't turn out so well. I can't believe it happened that quick

Luna is in the white cocoon surrounded by leaves.

It will be fun to watch this with them. I've never seen this before. The kids are very excited about it.
