Fun Facts:
🌿 These moths are gentle pollinator relatives and an important part of the food web, helping keep nature in balance.
🌿 As adults, they spend their short lives finding a mate and ensuring the next generation of luna moths can thrive.
🌿 They don’t have mouths, so they don’t eat—instead, they rely on energy stored from their caterpillar stage.
🌿 Their beautiful, ribbon-like tails help protect them by confusing bats during flight.

Nature has a purpose for every creature—even one that lives for just a week. 💚
Answer: It’s a Luna Moth! 🌙

🌱 The Oakwood Garden Club traded garden gossip for farm facts during a visit to RCF !

Founded in 2011, Raleigh City Farm is growing more than vegetables—they’re cultivating community through education, volunteerism, and programs that help provide fresh produce to neighbors in need. We left inspired, informed, and maybe a little jealous of their veggies 🥬💚
