Artist's Description
Luna Moths are light chartreuse green moths with long, curving tails on their hindwings and distinctive eyespots on all four wings. They are rarely seen due to their brief (only one week long) adult lives.
These exotic large moths are now considered endangered in some areas.
The adults do not eat or have mouths. The moths emerge as adults, and exist solely to mate and reproduce. They are most commonly seen at night, and most mating occurs at night. This is the derivation of their name "luna," meaning "night" or "moon."
Males die shortly after mating and females die soon after laying eggs.
This image was captured during that brief interim period between mating and death.
This photograph is unusual as it was taken in the middle of the day. This was the 3rd of three images I took in broad sunlight. The other two photographs, taken less than 15 minutes before this image, show a pair of luna moths enjoying a little birds and the bees act...
About Carla Parris
My love of photography grew out of capturing images from my travels, so photographs of beautiful and interesting places comprise a large portion of my portfolio. I am a Southern girl, and love the beauty that is in my back yard, so there are also lots of images from close to home. These include images of our beautiful Gulf Coast beaches, which I visit any time I can! I also enjoy capturing images of interesting flora and fauna, and wildlife images I am able to capture with my newest telephoto lens! I am a painter, as well as a photographer, and offer galleries of paintings and mixed media pieces. My interest in traditional art has spilled over to my post processing of photographs, and in addition to images with minimal post...
