I wanted to share with you this little beauty I found on my studio screen door...
It was about an inch long and I was so intrigued by it's wing pattern.
They almost looked filigree, as if they had been put together with tiny twigs.
The Latin name for it is Dragida Procinta or as us commoners
would call it, an olive green cutworm moth.
I found a picture of it's chrysalis. I know I've found these in the soil before and
always wondered what they would become...
They seem to be quite common from the east to the west but I don't think I've ever
really seen the moth this close...it was it's little face that caught my breath as well...
Sort of a mix of a wolf, owl and moth...
How fantastic is that?
For something so small, that lives for such a short time, it's immense beauty...
...once again I am mesmerized by the incredibility of the world of small.
