When I was little I remember every June a Luna moth would arrive at the same spot on the exterior of our camp on Otis Mountain. For me, this meant the beginning of summer. It always blew my mind: how on earth had all of these awesome pistachio-colored moths - who didn't even share life at the same time - agree to come back to the same spot year after year??? It still blows my mind. (Any lepidopterologists out there who can shed a little light on this phenomenon?)
Anyway, I present to you the LUNA MOTH and the beginning of summer.
