Description

Some of the other kids I've been raising are these Luna Moths. Often at rest these guys sit up to look mencing and end up just looking really cute instead. If you look at the head just above the legs you can see its eyes at either edd of the head. It has two sets of 3 eyes, one for either side of the head and they can barely see with them at all! Anyway, this ones in its 5th and final instar, about to form its cocoon and the adult can be seen here: [link]
