LUNA MOTH
Luna moths are insects. The Luna Moth is in the Phylum Arthropoda. Summarily we will discuss the food, descriptions and habitat of the Luna Moth.
What do Luna Moths eat? Luna caterpillars favorite trees are, sweet -gum, walnut and persimmon. Adult Luna Moths don�t have mouths so they don�t eat ; they do all their eating in larva stage.
Luna Moths are beautifully adorned. They are known for their yellow -green colors and long tails. Characteristically the Luna Moth has a pinkish edge on its forewings and a brown head. Its wing span is 5-10 inches. The larva or caterpillar is 3.5 inches long.
The habitat of the Luna Moth is limited. Their habitat is in the eastern United States from Maine to Florida. Their habitat consists of many trees. These are some of the common plants they live in: ash, oak, pin oak, willow, elm, apple, plum and cherry.
As you can see through the food, descriptions and habitat, the Luna Moth is very interesting. My opinion on the Luna Moth is that it is naturally beautiful.
