Beautiful Luna Moth

This beautiful, large moth was just outside our kitchen window today. From the condition of his wings, he looks a little travel weary! This Luna Moth is in the family of silk moths.

The link below is to a wonderful site that helps one to identify butterflies and moths. It has a lot of interesting information about this moth. If you look at their Image Gallery, you will find hundreds and hundreds of gorgeous pictures of butterflies and moths.
