This ia a very large moth sitting on the ceiling of our outside Patio. Black Witch mythology, is always dark.
Although I really dislike moths, I found this one intriguing.

thats a well camouflaged caterpillar, but one that has quite some resemblance to the eventual moth,
i wonder if the other moths are scared of those pretend eyes!??

I love moths & butterflies, so think this one is lovely.

I like butterflies but not moths. They scare me. This was a gorgeous (huge) and mysterious one . Much more intriguing in real life then in this picture.
