Adventure with a luna moth

Some things just happen at the right time.

Harrison is going to a wonderful place called Bug Camp – headed by Anne Mallet. She does wonders getting kids bug-brave. Butterflies, caterpillars, earwigs, worms, beetles, lady bugs, spiders, gliders and whatever bug you want…for three days the kids get their fill of creepy crawly – and they love it. All our kids went through it. She and I usually work out a scholarship for our attendance.

So as I was saying, Harrison went to bug camp this week. Sure enough, what do we behold on our house? A Luna Moth! The kids all loved it and the next day, Harrison got to learn a bit more about ‘em. Today, we researched what Luna Moths are up to when they just hang out all day.

FYI: Luna moths only live one week. They DON’T have a mouth. They only live for about a week after they emerge from their cocoon. They only look for a mate.
