Thanks to Matthew Studebaker for his Donating this speciman to Photograph.

Luna Moths are members of the Saturniidae family, also known as the "Giant Silkworm Moths."
Luna Moths are huge moths, with a wingspan of four and a half inches. They have a white body, pinkish legs, and huge pale green wings. The hindwings have eyespots and long tails.

They fly, only at night, in Spring and early Summer.

The female Luna Moth lays eggs on the bottom of Black Walnut leaves. She lays about 200 eggs in small groups.

Adult Luna Moths don't eat; in fact, they don't even have a mouth. They only live for about a week, and their only purpose is to mate.

Luna Moths were once very common, but are now considered an endangered species in some areas.

I took advantage of the muted light today and headed to a local spot here within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park called Ironweed Field.
I had been hearing about it being a good location for Praying Mantis and other Insects.
I started out with the 100 mm 2.8 but was not happy with the results I was getting.

So I went with the 600 F/4. Placed 68 mm of extension tubes on it to decrease my MFD along with the 1DM4 elevated some setup branches and was pretty happy with the results.

Settings: 1DM4 |68mm Kenko Extension tubes| 600 F/4 | Iso 800 | F/14| 1/100th | Mirror Lockup| 2 sec Timer| -2 Fill Flash Diffused

Hope you like them
