A drawing of a moth, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

When students learn how to draw a moth, they have a chance to draw one of the more elegant looking creatures around. The shape of the wings alone are really lovely, let along the coloring and the famous “eye” spots on their wings.Here’s a fascinating fact about a Luna moth. It eats constantly as a caterpillar, but does not have a mouth or digestive system after leaving the cocoon. Its sole purpose is to mate, and has only about a week to do so as an adult. No wonder you don’t see very many in the wild. That’s quite a short life span!
