It’s National Moth Week! To celebrate, here are two different angles of luna moths as they painstakingly cut their way out of the silk cocoons they built as caterpillars and overwintered in as pupae! Adult luna moths (Actias luna) have a unique way of emerging from their cocoons using sharp “spurs” at the base of their wings. Most of their giant silk moth cousins rely on an enzyme known as cocoonase, which they secrete in order to melt perfect escape holes from their cocoons. Luna moths use this

A beautiful Luna moth greeted me this morning — how appropriate for National Moth Week @mothweek! Seeing a North American Luna Moth (Actias luna) is rare due to its brief adult stage (7-10 days) & nocturnal flying times. Sadly, this one probably got confused by a bright yard light. Luna moths are part of the subfamily Saturniinae — the giant silk moths group. During its short adult life, these moths don’t eat, instead focusing on mating while surviving off fat stores from their caterpillar stage

The American Luna Moth has no mouth and does not eat or drink. Only living for one week as an adult, their only purpose is to mate and produce the next generation. One week might seem like a very short time for us. But, it is a lifetime for these moths. They put all of their energy into transforming from a caterpillar to a moth, flying to find a mate and then producing the next generation! They live a very productive and prosperous adult life. There has been concern that light pollution from man

The luna moth (Actias luna), one of North America's most striking silk moths, faces a unique challenge when it reaches adulthood: escaping the tough silk cocoon it spun as a caterpillar.Unlike many insects that chew or dissolve their way out, adult luna moths have vestigial mouthparts and cannot feed (or bite) at all. Instead, they rely on a clever mechanical adaptation.The newly formed adult moth first secretes a protein-digesting enzyme called cocoonase from its mouth area. This chemical softe
