Cool

A luna moth on your siding at dawn isn't dead. She's resting.

Adult luna moths have no mouths. They can't eat or drink. They emerge from the cocoon with a fixed fuel reserve that has to last their entire adult life — roughly a week. She's not resting between meals. She's rationing for the one thing she emerged to do.

She's on your wall because your porch light pulled her in. Moths navigate by the moon, and an artificial light hijacks that instinct. She spiraled toward it instead of finding a mate.

- If you find one on siding or a screen door, leave her. She'll rest all day and fly at true dark
- If she's somewhere a cat will find her, slide paper under her feet — she'll grip it — and carry her to a shaded tree trunk
- Don't touch the wings. The scales rub off and don't grow back
- Swap white porch bulbs for warm amber LEDs — moths don't orient to those wavelengths
- Put exterior lights on a timer that cuts off by 10 p.m. — peak moth flight is the hours you're asleep anyway

A luna moth that was common a generation ago is now a sighting people photograph. The porch light is most of the reason.
