Something New, Something Beautiful

I think if I turned my attention to insects, I could probably spend the rest of my life seeing creatures that I have never seen before. I could probably do this without leaving our beloved 6 acres.

While working on our Screen porch, a project I started 6 years ago and sort of promised Jeanne she would have her porch finished this Summer, I came across this fascinating little creature.

I have never seen one before and when I dropped what I was doing to look it up, I was thinking leopard spots. so I Googled Leopard Moth and sure enough that is exactly what it is called.

I think the Leopard Moth's beauty rivals that of many butterflies and as always I am very excited that I have a new creature to add to my life list.

I also think if I spend to much time checking out insects before Jeanne's much desired porch is finished, she will be running around the yard with Bug Spray.
