Geezzzz I almost stepped on this,







These are pretty large!!

Cool, I don't think I've ever saw one like that before Diane! You're so lucky to be seeing them today---send your springish weather this way okay?

Loz I sure wish I could send this weather to all of you !! I'm hoping our coldest weather is over!! AND I'm hoping these are a sign of it!!

What you have is a large Moth, I'm not sure what kind but I'll see what I can find out about it on Google Image Search.

Love butterflies ! I have a few here who frequent the begonias.

Thornius I kinda thought soo Is the clue the furry body??? Thanks for checking it out!!

Very cool! It looks like a Polyphemus moth,the most common of the silk moths. Named for the one-eyed giant in Greek mythology.

We birders switch over to Butterflies, Moths, Insects, and other critters when the bird activity is slow. Even when Bird activity is high we have a major interest in butterflies, too.
