a beautiful "new born" moth
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.
