Luna Moths In The Moonlight
Personal memory by Kaitlin Jones

Every summer my family and I vacation in Cape Cod, MA. Growing up we would always see Luna moths on the windows while we were playing games and cards together. They are so big and glow beautifully in the moonlight. This is the last picture I have of one from over 10 years ago. Their population is in decline due to pesticides, light pollution etc. We all miss seeing them.
