L is for... Luna Moth

With its long tails and delicate green color, this moth is very striking;

Because of its lasting first impression many collectors take a liking.On sweet gum, walnut, hickory, and persimmon the larvae like to feed,

Cocoons are spun on the ground and the larva has finished his deed.
