I love that moth...
It's my favorite kind but the name escapes me.... I have seen it much bigger though. The pink and white colors along with the shape of it, as well as the patterns on the wing make it beautiful. |

As frightening as this may seem, I have seen way bigger. This big laboratory place up in the hills near here dose some animal and insect testing and experimentation. They don't admit to it but I have a brother-in-law who is a nuclear geneticist. He worked there for 5 years and suddenly quit. He admitted to me what kind of strange things they do up there. I guess he had seen and done enough.
Back to the bug thing, they were doing something with moths....something to do with space travel, and these moths were huge. Well, someone had an accident, they escaped and we have moths the size of house cats that fly around here every so often. Rumor has it that they are cloned moths brought back from specimens fossilized in prehistoric amber. The scary thing is that I have seen photos of moths from the Jurassic period that look EXACTLY like these big bastards, the wing shape, the leafy looking antennas, the little hooks on the tips of their wings....not to mention the size. |

Cool man. I have one like that as well as several others I have found at work that have died.
They are not part of my Air force at work. I put them all on the end of a piece of bailing wire and display them. |

Did you notice any 4 inch high singing Japanese twin sisters hanging about when you saw it?
I saw a Moth about the size of that one a couple times not that long ago. Never seen them that big before in all my life living here but they seem to exist. The two I saw were different shades of gray though. |
