Newly Eclosed Male Luna Moth Dear Tom, The most obvious way to tell a male Luna Moth from a female Luna Moth is the antennae, which are much more developed in the male so he can sense the female. Female Luna Moths are quite heavy when filled with eggs, so they may not fly much until they have mated. An unmated Luna Moth may wait for a mate. A male Luna Moth might not waste energy flying until he senses a female. Alas, for some reason, the antennae in your image are not obvious.
