My luna moth just hatched out a little while again.
She's beautiful! [Big Grin]

Luna moths are beautiful. So are cecropia and polythemus moths. My mom, brother and I used to raise a whole bunch of all three every year - until they all got eaten by a Blue Jay one summer when we were trying to get outside DNA to improve the genes of our poor inbred moth population.

I love all of those moths and want to raise them...

So how long do they live? Do you keep it indoors or let it leave?

They only live for a week. I want to let her out, but at the same time it's soooo cold.

I do hope she attracts male moths and has moth babies.
