On the other hand, maybe spring is here. This male luna moth was on our deck door this afternoon. The colors are much more vivid than usual. One book mentioned that the first spring emergence is more colorful than the later summer broods. I have never seen one out this early -- especially since it's been below freezing for the last three nights.
