My Weird Show & Tell ...

One day last summer as I went to get in my car

I found this big fella perched on my

antenna.

At the time I didn't think to lay

something beside it to show and

compare it's massive size.

Yeah that's it .. that's my story.

That sounds so much better than

I was scared to death it would fly up at

me an attack !!

It's wing span was about 7 inches wide

and it's huge furry head was about the size of a penny.

It's called a

Eacles Imperialis Moth

I only saw "him" a couple of times and

"he" was always near my car.

A few months later Jeff and I were outside

and found this ..

Eacles Imperialis Moth Larva

heading down a tree.

Jeff the smart one .. pulls out

one of his business cards to show

a size comparison.

If you click on the picture you can

see the enlarged version..

He's a lil furry and has HORNS...

I was amazed at his size and even

though Jeff knew I wasn't coming within

jumping distance of it .. he did warn

me not to touch it ..

lol Yeah Right.. Me touch it ! hahaha!
