Cool Moth

The boys found a super cool moth....

Pretty non descript walking around and perfect colors for walking on tree trunks and decks that need painting.....
Until it is threatened......
SCAREY eyes!!!

Of course I had to include this shot ;)
Pretty cool hands on example of natural selection in nature.....

VERY COOL! I hope this beauty doesn't lay any nasty caterpillars in the garden!

I *think* that might be the very beautiful Sphinx moth that lays tomato hornworms. We saved a hornworm and let it metamorph itself and that moth looked very similar. You can find out about your creatures at www.whatsthatbug.com. It's our favorite bug site. :)
