EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating image of a Luna Moth (Actias luna), also known as a Moon Moth or a Giant Silkworm Moth, gracefully resting on the fronds of a Lady Fern (Athyrium filix-femina ssp. asplenioides). This stunning creature is a member of the Saturniidae family, known for its large size and vibrant coloration. The Luna Moth's hind wings, which are displayed in this photograph, are characterized by their pale green hue and intricate patterns. The long, twisted tails at the end of its abdomen are clearly visible, adding to its unique appearance. The moth's eyespots, located on its hindwings, are designed for mimicry and camouflage, helping it blend in with its woodland surroundings. The Luna Moth is only found in North America and is considered an endangered species in some areas due to habitat loss and fragmentation. This image captures the soft, furry texture of the moth's body, adding to the overall sense of wonder and awe. The scene is set in a peaceful woodland environment, with the Luna Moth directly above the ferns, creating a sense of harmony between the two. The absence of people in the photograph allows the viewer to fully appreciate the beauty and fragility of nature. The horizontal composition of the image emphasizes the moth's size and the intricacy of its surroundings. This photograph, taken by Amy White on July 15, 2005, is a testament to the natural world's beauty and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
