Luna moths do not eat sugar maple; instead, their caterpillars primarily feed on the leaves of specific plants such as walnut, hickory, and sweetgum. Adult Luna moths do not eat at all, as they primarily rely on stored energy from their caterpillar stage. Their life cycle focuses on reproduction rather than feeding. Thus, while sugar maples may be nearby, they are not a food source for Luna moths.
