Smore Science

Luna moths are beautiful in themselves, with twisted or cupped streamers, which are ribbony ends present in the hind wings. For the first time, biologists have established a link between the tail-like streamers and warm weather. Wing streamers with twisting or cupped ends have evolved independently at least five times in the family of luna and other moon moths (Saturniidae), says behavioral ecologist Juliette Rubin, now at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Balboa, Panama.
