cichlidfan Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) I don't see them often, usually I run across one every summer though, and I have no idea what their range is but they are all over Virginia. Pretty much wherever they are when the sun came up is where they stay all day. EDIT: Yep all the way down to Florida among other places. http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Actias-luna Edited May 10, 2012 by cichlidfan ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

hitman Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 I never seen one of these things before! Kinda scared the shit out of me when I first saw it, but I got it chilling in my model room right now. Thing is almost 7 inches long!

cichlidfan Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) The size varies but not by a whole lot, that falls into the big end of the range. There are actually a few moths that are larger than that. This one almost hits a foot across but you won't find it around your home. http://www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/inverts/atlas_moth.htm Edited May 10, 2012 by cichlidfan ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

monotwix Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 It’s a good size. Have you tried launching it like a paper airplane? I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
