luna moth obsession

I am trying to conduct research and figure out how I can find some of these moths- I have seen them on very few occasions - I had a close encounter with one a few weeks ago when I was going sailing with my boss on a small lake in northern ohio. It was sleeping in the main sail, and as that sail was being opened- it fluttered out and down past my hand, and onto the lake- and sat there for a few minutes- before it flew off.

I tried really hard to get it- I thought it was dead at first- and that it had fallen out of the sail and into the water- but realized it was actually just sitting there the whole time, riding the ripples.

Here is a really neat video from youtube about luna moths, along with some cool photos. There's some green porno in here too- some luna moths mating- isabella should do a video on these guys ;)
