Small Luna Moth

Luna Moth (Actias Luna) - U.S.A

Symbolic of cycles, intuition, and transformation, the luna moth is traditionally associated with the moon.

Known for its striking appearance and very short adult lifespan, living off stored caterpillar fat as it has no mouthparts

This specimen is ethically sourced and carefully preserved, mounted on a deep black backing that allows its subtle colours to glow. It is housed in a black shadow box frame with ornate antique-style brass corners, giving the piece a timeless, almost reliquary feel.

Each moth carries natural variation in tone, wing shape, and markings — these are not flaws, but evidence of a real life once lived.

Each specimen is mounted to highlight the natural wing shape and intricate patterning, creating a timeless piece suited for collectors, natural history lovers, and those drawn to insect art.
