Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This week I found this newly hatched cecropia moth on the post of my deck. He was pumping up and hardening his wings. Opening and closing them to test his new muscles. He stayed until dark before flying off.
It is 4 inched across. I love the delicate colors -- the pale lavendar on the wing tips and the fuzzy rust of his head and legs.

Oh the wonders of God's creation. He is a beauty.
Nature can put together colors in a way that humans can not. The moth is beautiful.

no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
Amazing. What wonderful patterns on his body - those stripes and then those tiny little dots of color. He's beautiful.
The one who dies with the most fabric wins.
Yes, they are beautiful...this year I watched at least 100 praying mantis babies hatch from an egg sac...very interesting!
Isn't it amazing to watch then getting ready to fly? It sure looks pretty with it's brand new wings.
