Beautiful moth! However, this is the Imperial Moth, Eacles imperialis. You are right, Luna Moths are only green. I hope to see more moths from you! You can add this moth, and any more moth encounters you have to my mission, Moths of the World - National Moth Week: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841449
