7758 -- Luna Moth -- Actias luna

The 05/12 moth came from Larry Line's place in Clarksville, Howard County, MD. The daylight photo, where it settled after being released, is beside the water faucet on the side of the house. Later I had two Lunas visit the lights, the only times that I have seen them anywhere in Bowie in 43 years.
