Know what you mean, Liz. In Southern California (c.1968) the Luna simply
represented a fantasy. No such creature could possibly exist for real. I saw
a few that were dried in envelopes, but it wasn't until this last spring that I
saw one for real - resting on my window while I was eating breakfast. So big
and so green - and so docile. I guess they're easy to rear, which is probably
the appropriate way to interact with Saturniids.
