Beauty in Greenbelt

[kmusser]

This afternoon I saw a luna moth (picture) in the Greenbelt metro station. I'd never seen one before - they are absolutely gorgeous - and large, this one was about the size of my hand. Always a joy to come across beauty where it's least expected.

Oh wow! I just saw one of those out in Chantilly last Saturday, but we couldn't tell what it was - it wouldn't hold still long enough to get a good look at it. We thought perhaps it was a praying mantis, but its wings were too big. Must've been a luna moth, it was just that size and color.

Neat!

Thank you...

You are a lucky man. I've seen two luna moths in my life, and always hope I can get to see a third...
