- Luna Moth larvae will grow to around 3 ½ inches in length and develop a reddish-orange tinge before pupating. Luna Moths belong to the Silkmoth family, and larvae will spin a loose cocoon before pupating. The pupae are brown and oval in shape. Adults emerge from pupae within 2 weeks unless it is diapausing. Diapause is similar to hibernation, a dormant state that will last throughout the winter months. After emerging as adults, Luna Moths live around a week, and do not eat during the adult stage of metamorphosis.

Biology & Life Cycle Young caterpillars spread to new locations by crawling to the tops of trees, where they spin a silken thread and are caught on wind currents. Older caterpillars are approximately 1.5 to 2.0 inches long. Gypsy moth caterpillars do not produce a web, which distinguishes it from web-making caterpillars such as the Eastern tent caterpillar, Malacosoma americanum and the fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea. The Gypsy moth larval stage lasts approximately seven weeks.
