Clinging Moth


To the light he flew
On the screen he landed.
When morning came I shooed him away.
I feared he'd stay too long
And be fried by the morning sun.

(Be sure to enlarge him to see his furry features.)

    He's a beauty. Nice photo. I'm intrigued by the colorful shapes behind him and the screen... by brain is trying to turn them into things.

    What awesome colors and how complete he is. Nice of you to protect him from himself. (provided it is a 'he' :) and if not, then a she)

    It's very pretty! And, being on the screen made for an interesting picture to capture!

    I have done a couple posts on moths in the past! It's always a thrill for me to come across something like this! SOOO much to explore in our wonderful world!!

    :) lol- I saw B13 also posted a moth today!

    LOL! HE was on my bed stand the night before last! And I didn't even THINK to photograph him... darn! I shooed him away immediately! Just like him to fly to you - he knew you would appreciate him more than me!

    Pretty! I love looking at the intricate details of moths -- often they aren't as bright as butterflies, but they are just as detailed.

    Super picture-I love the way the camera picked up the variations of the screen. And he is a cute little thing. Love the poem.

    I have never seen a moth so close up and was fascinated by the wings! Great shot Carletta!
