Notes:

Found this insect on my garage door this am. I put the door up and down a few times and it stayed put.

Can you name this insect?

   This is a luna moth. What your photo doesn’t show well is just how large they are. Always fun to see one in real life. http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Actias-luna

   That is a Luna Moth. I thought it was unusual to see one this early but apparently not…
