We saw one of these at Sprague Brook Park today. It was motionless, bright lime green and about 3-4 inches wide from wing tip to tip. Really freaky looking. I didn't have my camera but Julie took a bunch of pictures which she said she would post when she gets a chance.

I can't wait to see the photos! They're absolutely one of my favorite moths.

I had never seen a Luna Moth, but having read about them, I figuired that's what I was looking at.
