F-L-Y

The mega-talented Lulu has been posting such great photos of giant insects on her Facebook page this summer, I've had them stuck in my brain, fluttering around in there. What happened after I saw this.....



was this!



Luna moths have always held such mystery for me. One of my earliest memories is of being outside our house with my mother late at night, watching as she tried to catch a luna moth for her butterfly and moth collection. Her love of insects of all sorts definitely rubbed off on me.
This piece will be for sale in August if no one adopts it at my exhibit.
