I have actually seen the Luna Moth. As for the others not sure but one was tickling at the edge of my mind and that one is # 4 the Lo Moth. Unless that one is from some exotic land I may have seen it as well, but then it could have been a butterfly that resembled it. I love yo see butterflies flitting over flowers gathering necture and pollinating the flowers.

I remember seeing large and colorful moths in Saskatchewan many years ago. They would sit on the palm of your hand for ages. Looked like they had a furry body, legs and head. Beautiful creatures. I haven't seen one in years and have lived in BC, AB, Sask. and Manitoba. Are they just about extinct now as butterflies (Monarch, etc.) and bee's. Put out plants to attract them but never see hardly a one.

Oh my goodness - O WOW! These moths are awesome! How great is our God to create wings so identical on each side - absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. We love them ALL! I even want to cuddle them they are so cute, beautiful, gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing them with us. My favourites are the Luna moth and the Madagascan Sunset moth. But they are all just as beautiful as one another. Too awesome for words! Thank you so much again.
