Description

Isn't she pretty? :love:
No worries! Even though her wing is hurt, she flew off just fine.

Edit:
It seems quite a few people have never seen/heard of these moths, so I was curious enough to look it up. It turns out, though they're considered common, these moths only live for seven days. They have no mouths. :o Based on the climate of where they live, they only produce one-three generations, so spotting one can be pretty difficult.

Edit 2: editing minor details

Very beautiful indeed.

Ever see a Madagascan Moon Moth (or Comet Moth)?

It is very similar to the Luna, but is bigger all around and has longer tails.
