A pale, delicate Luna Moth (Actias luna) in watercolour with some white acrylic paint highlights.
These moths are native to North America and can grow up to 7 inches across. Their wings are pale and translucent blue-green to lime-green, with long tails on the hindwings and crescent-shaped eyespots that saw them named after the Roman goddess of the moon. In some populations, the pink borders on the wings are yellow instead.
This artwork is 5 x 5 cm. Painted on 300gsm watercolour paper, signed and dated on the back.
This painting is made to order, and as such, will vary slightly for each buyer. Please allow up to one week for me to have your painting created and shipped.
If you would like a similar item to this one but with particular changes (such as additional sizes), or have a particular species in mind, please let me know and I'll see what I can do :)
