A luna moth is a insect .It looks like a lime-green butterfly. It is 11.43 cm big. A luna moth has 4 wings and 6 legs . They have two fake eyes on its wings to scare away pests. luna moths are sort of moths. They do not suck blood. It has a wingspan of up to 11.4 cm making it one of the largest moths in North America . Its scientific name is Actias moth. Moon moths only fly at night and that is how luna moths get there name luna means moon.
Firstly, an adult female moth lays up to 200 eggs in a small group on the leaves of a walnut tree.They are an heki for 12-14 days .Tekau (ten) days later, a small caterpillar eats its way out of the egg . Secondly they are larvas for 3½-4 weeks. The newborn caterpillar eat constantly -several leafs every day-and grows quickly . Next, they are a Cocoon and pupa .They are cocoons for Rua 2-3 weeks and they are 2½ inches long . The caterpillar is fully grown now . It stops eating and finds it self a safe place to make its cocoon. Last of all, luna moths live for a week . At first there wings are soft and crumbled. In rua tekau minutes there wings are full size and almost dry.
Habitat
Luna moths are found in some countries in the world especially North America. They live in woodlands and forests because it is a place where there is peace and quiet and also a good place to lay eggs. They live in the hollows of trees and under leaves so keep them safe . This way they can hide from predators such as bats, and when they are caterpillars hide from birds. Luna moths are bats favorite snack. In Britain and Ireland blue tits birds eat an estimated 50 billion luna moths each year.
What do they eat
Moon moths eat a lot of different types of food. As a caterpillar they eat plants such as Betula. A betula is a tin leaved tree it is related to beech oak family tree. Alnus it is flowering plant belong to the birch family . Liquidambar commonly called sweet gum it looks like a big bush. Juglans is also known as a walnut tree. A Rhus is called a sumac as well it has greenish reddish leaves on it . As an adult moon moths do not eat.adult luna moths do not eat any
Luna moths are important to the environment. Like all moths and butterflies they are helpful because they pollinate flowers while feeding on their nectar. This helps with seed production and helping plants to grow.
