Luna Moth. We have alot of those here this past week. Unfortunately the only ones I find have no body. The wings lay neatly in the driveway. They must be one of the bats' favorite meals!

Hey, Lunachick! It's named after you! I'll check to see if it's got a nice, big cyst on it!

Maple...not sure I could use my rusty scalpel on this beauty, though! Even if I DO have the glow-in-the-dark sutures!

Okay, guys - so, I looked at the Luna Moth caterpillar online...it looks eerily like a huge, fat tomato worm! I HOPE I'm wrong, as I had issues with those awful things last year....and no, my chickens won't eat them, the finicky things!

Yeah, there's a reason it looks alike.... they also eat tomato leaves, but the cats lack the horn of a hornworm.

edit: hornworm moths are brown and huge, lay lime green eggs in singles.
