Luna moths. Oh, boy. That's one of the best reasons for growing persimmons that I've heard. I have seen a total of four in my 52 years. Once as a child in N Mich (where persimmons don't grow...they MUST eat something else) and thrice here in NC where wild persimmons are common (one of them in a cat's mouth...grrrr...and one on an auto grill) Thank you.
