I find perfect sets of Luna wings every summer near a street light on my
property. I figured it was bats until recently when one morning after seeing a
Luna on my sheet I found a set next to the sheet. There's a Mockingbird I've
seen near the sheet every morning so maybe that's what been eating the Lunas. I
turn the lights off after my last check at 3 to 4 A.M. but I know that Lunas
don't always leave once they've settled in.

I had one Luna at my house, but it would not sit still for a nice portrait! I
saw 2 at Frozen Head SP in Morgan Co. (5-9-11) and the wings of one at Standing
Stone SP (5-27-11) in Overton Co.
I don't know if pieces count or not! :)

I haven't seen any Lunas in years, except one dead one in the woods last year.
This year I have had three.

I'm trying to figure out why the large moths find it necessary to crash into
me several times before they make it to the sheet. Last night 2 Sphinx Moths
and a Luna let me know about their arrival in this manner.
That makes 6 Lunas for the year. I don't know what others normally see but
considering I didn't see any last year, this seems like a lot.
