With their expansive lime-green and purple-blue trimmed wings, luna moths are a sight for sore eyes.

Some naturalists believe these beautiful evening visitors are on the decline, due to pesticides, invasive species and other threats. Luna and other native moths also depend on native plants. If you'd like to provide moth and butterfly habitat in your yard, check out:

• FMR's Landscape for the River page for more information on native plants,
• Restoring the Landscape with Native Plants,
• and the DNR's Butterfly Gardens page.
