The Luna Moth has a distinct life cycle that includes four stages: egg, larva/caterpillar, cocoon/pupa, and adult moth. As a larva/caterpillar, it sheds its skin five times before entering the cocoon/pupa stage, which lasts around two weeks. Finally, it emerges as an adult Luna Moth, which lives for only seven days to mate before dying, as it does not eat or drink during this final stage.
