Luna moths (Actias luna). This large moth inhabits eastern North America. Its wingspan may reach up to 15 centimetres. The adult luna moth's only purpose is reproduction. It does not eat,instead relying on reserves built up during its time as a caterpillar. These reserves run out after around a week,and the moth dies.
