| "Lunar Light" 18x24" acrylic on ampersand (C) Cara Bevan 2011 |
| Fleeting moments make those little things the most magical. That’s the case with “Lunar Light”. A Luna Moth is among the largest of moths, with a 4-inch wingspan. In most areas of the United States, there is only one generation a year appearing in June and early July. Along the east coast there can be two, even three generations starting in March. Upon coming from their cocoon, their wings are actually small. Blood is pumped into them to make them grow. Once the wings harden they are free to fly and propagate the species, laying 100-300 eggs for the next generation. Like most moths, they do not have mouths. They cannot eat or drink. As such, they only live 7 days and appear most often at night. It’s rare I catch sight of these beautiful moths. When I do, I value the once-in-a-year moment and hope for another sight soon. |
