Aviator: Luna Moth

Not an avian , but nonetheless an accomplished flyer. These moths are not able to feed, and therefore live but a few precious days, finding a mate, and then dying.

Canon EOS 7D ,EF 100-400mm f/4.5L

other sizes: small medium large original auto

A life far too short for a so beautiful and elegant moth! I hope I have the chance to see it one day... living, of course!!! BV. Anna
