I got very casual about all saturnids when I lived out in the country here, If we waanted moths we just went down to the Cardinal grocery store (only bright light for 20 miles in all directions) and grabbed or picked them off the big glass window. Every big-big silk-family moth you could ever dream of showed up on that window. You shoulda seen the wall display of them I had for a while.

The poor dears only live a few nights and have no mouth parts, so we only needed to wait until they'd mated and laid eggs and we could capture them without much guilt because they were going to die anyway.

If you like lunas you ought to web search the family name to see some of the luna relations around the world--beautiful!!! attached is one they have in Spain. Very interesting.
