Here is a fun factI found on this blog
This Lunamoth (actias luna) seems the zen-kind of fellow, looking remarkably like a green Ganesh, the Indian elephant god and protector from all evils. The Luna moth actually has two equally long wing tips but this one is missing one, making it look all the more like an elephant trunk. That plus the half-closed eye spots and the tuft of white (hair) at the top – Its habitat is North America from Ontorio to northern Mexico and the warmer the climate, the longer their life span (minimum seven days) and the more generations (one to three) per year.
This Luna Moth already flew to Teri and will spend the rest of his week there.
Happy Animal Wednesday!
Interesting! Luna moths are so beautiful, but I had never noticed the resemblance to Ganesh before. Now I will always remember that.
