Specimen | NC 272 Luna Moth
[Actias luna]
False eyespots on the hind wings and a curly smile on the leading edge of the front wings may confuse a predator like a bird or direct its attack to the hind wings where the strike may not be lethal.
With a wingspan up to 4 ½,” this silkworm moth is one of North America’s largest moths.
