Rainbowzz,

Thank you so much for the wonderful link.....the Luna Moth is exactly what I saw. Being a native Californian, this was the most awsome, beautiful (I thought was a butterfly at the time) insect I have ever seen. How fascinating to read that they only live for 7-10 days. I was hoping to see others....but that was the only one. I was amazed when it flew away into the woods on my farm.

I enjoyed learning about this beautiful moth The stages of their life is most fascinating.....thanks again for the link,
Debbie
