As this happy weekend near and end want to share some treats from my garden. The gigantic brown moths (I actually think that's what they are called) were clinging to our climbing rose early one morning. Their pattern and delicate detailing are just magnificent. The common daylily is in full bloom right now. Each dawn a new bud unfolds just to end its glorious life span by dusk. And the next day there is another ready to steal the limelight.
Your photographs are stunning! I could take photos of this moth all day long!
ReplyDeleteSo, so loverly :)
ReplyDeleteAre they called Gypsy moths? I think I remember them in the showers at girl scout camp!
I think they are called polyphemus moth (per my amateurish research). They are gigantic - as big as my hand - an truly fascinating. Of course they are long gone by now, but it is always amazing to discover new things.
ReplyDeletethose moths are fantastic. and as big as your hand, wow! lovely pattern by design albeit a fleeting moment.
