Unlike the flowers which I prefer white, the moths were so colorful & diverse that I could not help, but be intrigued. Mostly the freak me out. I am not a fan of LARGE flying carnivorous insects (the moth picture below is the size of a piece of bread?!) But their colors & forms are so gorgeous & have adapted to fit their survival needs. When you think about the moths, in those terms, they become design objects. In that category they would receive high marks all around. So I overcame my fear/squeamishness long enough to document a few of the remarkable moths. I can get lost in the ribbon tail of the green Luna moth, the pink lemonade colors of the Rosy Maple moth, & the mimicry of the leaf-like Blinded Sphinx. They really are remarkable. Happy Wednesday Y'all!
