Visitor

This guy landed on our doorbell last night and he seems content to stay there. So I took a picture of him this morning. Click on the picture to get a closer view.


As of about 4 PM, today he's still hanging out and hasn't moved a lot if any. Maybe he's dead. Dead or not, he (or maybe she) is pretty cool looking.

OK, I'm back. This guy is a Luna moth. I looked it up. Actually, my picture is better than the one in Wikipedia. More colorful. Anyhow, they live in this stage only for about 1 week. Their only reason to be at this stage is to mate. They don't even have a mouth to eat with. Talk about single-minded.
