In Georgia, we grow the bugs BIG! This is a luna moth that decided to visit me one night a few weeks back and fly into my crafting room while I was scrapbooking.... I had the window open, which is a mistake, because it took me nearly a half-hour to get him worn out enough to settle down and pose for this pic.... they really are incredible to look at up close.... his antennae look fuzzy, and it looks like he has big black eyes and a little pink nose. This guy had about a 4 inch wingspan and the "eyespots" on the wings are to deter preditors. I really like the soft green color, too.

I really marvel at some of the creatures that have been put on this earth.... although I see no use for most of them...( fireants, roaches, beetles, SPIDERS, mosquitos and flies)..... I do like to watch the butterflies and moths. Even an occasional praying mantis fasinates me.... as long as it is OUTSIDE and not crawling on me...lol !!!

Until next time!
