luna

I thought the luna was rare, but it turns out it is quite common. Only thing is, it doesn't eat, so it only lives a week, and that is why we seldom see them.

Monday morning is trash day. I rolled my barrel back into place after the trashtruck had gone. This was right at eye level. Too cool!

Very pretty, Shirl. I didn't know they had such a short life span. Thanks for posting.

I had never seen or heard of one before last year when I saw one on the ivy just above the outside water spigot. Of course, I googled around and finally found what it was.
