Luna moth
Actias luna

Observation date: June 17, 2014
Submitted by: myswtone
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: A little blurry as the moth was vibrating its wings getting ready to fly. I turned around and the moth was gone back into the woods. Happy to see them back in Vermont ... it is a little later than we normally first see them but this winter didn't want to let go.
