About Moths!

While looking at the Sky Watch Friday posts I usually will scroll down and look at other posts of each new blog I visit. I figure I will like other things they post if I like their Sky pics! :)

I got a cool surprise when I checked out this post !

I was surprised because, at first glance, I thought this very flashy moth on this site was the same as the ones I had encountered here at our place and had posted about in the past. After looking closer and then comparing it to mine I realized they are not the same. However, both are an impressive sight to see! IMO

The moth (in my world) is this one! Pandora Sphinx

( scroll down the list to find it on this link )

I have written about this moth and posted some pics a couple times previously.

Just a few days ago I found another of these moths in my garage. (Dead) I made some photos of it the day I found it, but left it there.


Today, after seeing the similar moth at this other website, my interest was once again renewed and I bagged the moth for safe keeping! :)

( I collect little things of nature!)

I photographed it again to show the size.

(Sorry this picture is blurred, but you can see the size of this moth!)


Isn't it cool? :)

I think so!

Photo Projects~ PG & PLT

This is Anna's new photo project ~

Project Green!


I couldn't be happier with this choice of color because Green has always been my favorite !
( But you knew that- right?) :)

So I will be searching my picture files and looking for new green things to 'shoot' for my contributions here!
Here is my first one!




I found this moth in my yard ~ but not recently! The name of this is 'Sphinx.'

~~~

I will also put a 'Looking Through' picture here today. Go here for other links for PLT posters!
Mark is host for this project!


This is a recent view of my wildflower meadow~ through the spokes of this old wheel!

Poem: I'll Be The Moth

I'll Be The Moth

I’ll be the moth,
if you’re the flame.
I’ll seek the warmth
you offer me.
You’ll be my guiding light,
on shore,
if I’m the ship that’s
lost at sea.
I’ll be the flowers-
you, the rain.
What would have withered
now will grow.
You’ll be the song
that’s in my heart.
I’ll find a way
to let you know.
