Good Evening (or Good Morning to those of you on the other side of the globe)
Today’s piece is a digital painting of the Luna Moth.
Here’s a little info about the luna.
“Luna Moths are huge moths, with a wingspan of four and a half inches. They fly, only at night, in Spring and early Summer. The adult moth will wait until nightfall to fly off to find a mate. Adult Luna Moths don’t eat; in fact, they don’t even have a mouth. They only live for about a week, and their only purpose is to mate and die shortly afterwards. In some areas they are now considered endangered.”
Without further delay I present “La Luna”
I guess it just appealed to my romantic side. 😉

Ooooh. Pretty!
I think I have a picture or two of these moths that I took when I was at Cowboy Camp.

This reminds me of a piece of Yeats I read today although it doesn’t apply since it’s about a butterfly. In any case, here’s the quote.
“For wisdom is a butterfly and not a gloomy bird of prey”

If you did, you would know that Cowboy Camp was something I went to last summer for a week here in Japan as a quasi-camp counselor.
