Field Notes

Notes:

Found this Luna moth resting on a truck tire in a wooded area just south of Towanda, PA. It was alive when I moved it to a grassier area away from the vehicles but found it had died shortly after, I have no idea if it was and old moth or if it was injured in some way, but it didn't look like it.
