Because they gravitate towards light in the darkness of the night, the luna moth is seen as a symbol of spiritual transformation, of heightened awareness, and a striving towards truth.

These establishments are located on all corners of the globe including Africa, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia, to name a few. Supporting a market for insects as artwork and educational specimens creates jobs in third world countries and an industry that is motivated by maintaining insect populations and their natural habitats, rather than their destruction.
