It might be. Caterpillars of the luna moth can eat birch, alder, persimmon, sweetgum, hickory, walnut, sumac, tomato and moonflower. Especially those feeding on tomato may be considered pests. But the moth is all worth it. ^^

The caterpillars eat the leaves that they hatch on.
Luna Moths do not eat, because they do not have a mouth.
They eat wide varieties of leaves and bushes
Eggs laid in small clusters on host tree, caterpillars hatch after a couple weeks and spend 6-8 weeks eating leaves, caterpillars make a silken cocoon, and the moth hatches after a few weeks in the cocoon (or a few months if it needs to overwinter in the cocoon). The adult moth doesn't eat and dies after only a week or two.
most caterpillars eat leaves. it depends on what species the caterpillar is but most of the eat gumtree leaves or eucalyptus tree leaves!!
Luna moths are not predators. Caterpillars eat plants, and adults do not have mouths at all, so they can't eat!
