I found this moth on my screen door knob this morning. At first it looked like a cartoon drawing or a stick up print. I have never seen this before. It stayed there all day even as I went outside and back inside. It wasn't afraid!

What a terrific find, John. So good this moth could spend some time with you. It is a beauty, a real treasure.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very much like a maple key, doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteIt paid you a visit and stayed for awhile.
ReplyDeleteWe used to see a lunar moth at the tennis courts when our son was young and into tennis! He would always stop and look for one. When we would see one, I remember him saying, "Mom, all the people around us just walked right by and didn't even notice this moth, even while we were admiring it!". Teach children to marvel at nature and they will always have that joy of life!
ReplyDeleteSo good to see, great pictures.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
