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?

    Wow. That's beautiful! I remember the first time I saw a Luna moth. I was absolutely enthralled.

    Wow, he's gorgeous! I'd love to have fabric with that pattern and the subtle blue.
