Moth.L1030220, with story

Arriving at our rural post office, where my gallery box is located, I went back to the car to capture this picture of a large and unusual moth, who had settled on the outside ledge, near the inside plants.  His size was about 90mm across.  

Using this moth as a teaching example for my son, to see as much as you can and be aware of your surroundings, he then noticed the moth as I set up my monopod to take the image.

I have been informed this is a Luna Moth, (by kerrybush) one of the largest moths reaching a wing span of 125mm, 5 inches.  They cannot eat as they have no mouth, living only for about 5 days.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.
