Dogs. Dawgs. Other critters. Life as Oliver Wendell Douglas. Live heirlooms, both flora and fauna. Self-sufficiency. Suffering not a fool to live. Land stewardship. Turnip trucks, and those who have not fallen therefrom. Training things. Growing things. Search and rescue. What is this bug and what is it doing under my desk light? Embracing the reality that Nature Bats Last.

Monochrome
I nearly stepped on this large, spectacular moth in the woodshed this afternoon.
I thought he was perfectly monochrome until I cropped in the photo; click the image for big, and you'll see the blue on his legs and a little on his wings, too.
What is he?
Update: Giant Leopard Moth

Whoa... that is incredibly beautiful. Giant Leopard Moth?
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it!
ReplyDeleteWow. That's beautiful! I remember the first time I saw a Luna moth. I was absolutely enthralled.
ReplyDeleteVery, very cool. Artistic, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, he's gorgeous! I'd love to have fabric with that pattern and the subtle blue.
ReplyDeleteNEAT! I have never seen a moth such as this one.
