3. The first time I saw one flying in my carport, I was amazed
I did not know WHAT it was at first.
I have since since about 4 of them.

6. Now and then we get them on or front porch...
I think it's because our yard is pretty woodsy.

4. Check out the antennae.
If they're all feathery, then it's a moth.
Not all moths fly at night.

Those are some beauts!

5. No.
Is that pic you posted a pic of a moth? Wow. It looks like a bird or a butterfly or a spaceship or airplane or something.

;)

7. Ignoramuses that we are, my husband and I
pyt up one of those bug-zappers when we first moved out into the woods in Maine. We didn't realize that it wouldn't do a thing for mosquitoes and blackflies but instead would attract thousands of harmless little buggies. Anyhow, one morning we found a beautiful green Luna moth dead beneath it. We took the darned thing down after that.
