Saw your web site and had to send you my Luna picture taken yesterday (April 6, 2003). I have always wanted to see a Luna since I was a kid. Got my chance yesterday. It seems to have emerged recently. This was taken in my backyard on a Hickory tree. It's a beautiful thing to see.

Very nice picture, thanks!
The vibrant green colouration and maroon trim on outer margins of all wings
is typical of lunas that have overwintered. Subsequent broods have
wings that are more yellow-green and lack the maroon trim.
