Big Green Moth

Joe found this beautiful moth on the way out to the car to go to school this morning. Apparently it is a Luna Moth. We have black walnut trees down our driveway so I guess that is what is attracting them to our area. I really really really don't want to run into one of the caterpillars! Yuck! :)
A few weeks ago, David was looking out his bedroom window and saw a bird land with a moth like this trapped in its beak. The bird dropped the moth and David went out and "saved" it but it was chewed up quite a bit.
This one has a bit of damage to the tip of one wing but otherwise looks good. There are some cool looking things out here!
