A luna moth in its final stage of development shows off its feathery antennae and colorful eyespots. The adult life span s sadly just a week with the sole purpose of reproduction. It has no mouth and lives off of the energy stored from its caterpillar stage. If you’d like to see one, leave an outside light on overnight and you might get lucky. You also might be greeted by a hundred other moths as well. (Photo by Jane Naliboff)Here you can see the luna moth’s hairy head and eyespots up close.

Beautiful picture, look forward to these every week, Thanks to all..
Geranium maybe a peony, Jennifer
I love geraniums, but that’s a pretty pink peony matching the colors of the beautiful sunrise and sunset pictured above it.
All pictures are wonderful. One of the reasons I say that because I used to live in Eustis a long time ago. Also I’m especially really a lover of animals, locations, & all else for all the pictures those that donate them. I really hope & pray all of those who take this type of pictures you all really continue & anyone that want’s to join is able to.
Love the blue bird in flight Tom!! – a great catch. Amazing pictures this week and every week.
Beautiful pictures.
I’d like to know what type and make of cameras you use.
Such beautiful pictures, thanks to all the wonderful photographers
WOW an unbelievable array of amazing photos!!! The close ups of such beautiful creatures (I’m partial to the small animals myself and am so not disappointed this week!) and am always appreciative of seeing and learning about creatures we all know so little about. Thank you all!
Yes i think that the beautiful pink flower is a PEONY. The pictures are all beautiful and I enjoy them each week. Thank You all for the pictures and keepup the good work
So lucky to live here! Thanks for sharing! I especially enjoyed the sunrise and all the babies!!!
Such beauties, once again. Thank you so much.
I’d like to encourage people refrain from using fireworks—and ask friends and family not to use fireworks—preferably also let town like Wilton know you would like to see better protection of our wildlife from : the noise from fireworks that scares them at crucial time when they are rearing young. Pease Pond is a perrenial problem as there are 2 camps that do not care how much disturbance they cause. There are fawns, baby loons, and a bald eagle nest down there—no one seems to give a fig that all of the sudden these fireworks explosions are going off potentially harming wildlife. I have already had a doe and fawn come running across myself panicked after fireworks randomly went off. Wilton refuses to do anything about this or the nuisance noise, poaching, trespassing problems that PLAGUE the area. Many residents have complained…the town just ignores it ….like they ignore our EPA violation and code complaints. I’d like to encourage people in broader Franklin County area who are concerned about our wildlife—to speak up. Let people at town offices, representitives and friends and family know how their “recreational” activities can harm.
Thanks to God.
Wonderful pictures. Thank you all. Mark, love the orange sunrise!
