The Moth, Part II

A few nights after my discovery of the world's cutest moth, I went outside to find this gigantic beast perched on my patio. I believe this is called a luna moth. It is not nearly as well-behaved as the Rosy Maple moth. After I took the picture, it flew at my head like a maniacal kamikaze pilot, causing me to shriek and flail about spastically. I am definitely not a fan of the luna moth. Unfortunately, it was still there the next morning, although it appeared my dogs had chewed on it some overnight. To keep Patrick from playing with it, I had to scoop it up in my dust pan and fling it over the fence. *shudder*
