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. ^^

Two [2] weeks tends to be the maximum lifetime of giant silk moths. That's because they have no mouthparts. Their main purpose as adults therefore is ensuring the next generation, by laying eggs.One of their most famous members is the Luna or moon moth [Actias Luna]. They often will be found near the host plants of their larval stage. The larvae are plump lime green, with tiny orange spots along the sides of each segments. They particularly favor birch, hickory and walnut trees.
Although moths are normally dull, earthy colors, they can be any color from green (Actias luna) to blue (some Uraniid sp.) to having many (Chrysiridia rhipheus, also a Uraniidae moth). Likewise, there are several butterfly species that are quite dull colored. All lepidoptera come in a variety of colors, so there you go.
